"And I'm waiting for the RFEngineer to explain why a Faraday cage movie theater is perfectly legal.....without a single sign saying...."Hey Dufuss, your cell phone won't work in here"

Because a Faraday cage is passive and doesn't affect things significantly outside the specific premises of the theater. The FCC doesn't object as long as you don't broadcast anything on spectrum that you don't have a license for, or interfere (actively) with someone who does.

That is correct. What movie theater owners are asking the FCC for is to do this electronically without tearing down existing structures....and I already pointed out, way up the thread, that exclusion zones are possible, so the "I can't live without my cell phone people" or life and death professionals can still have access to their mobiles. Stick them and all the screeching kids on the balcony, then they can just annoy each other instead of me.
