Re: Aluminum foil bandit
See, now this is what I log into BBR for.  The practical and fraudulent uses of aluminum foil.
Really, I never knew about those tabs. Mine are all pushed in now.

| I can just see someone googling for "safe alternative to Saran Wrap" and the first return is dslreports security forum thread and the searcher goes "huh?" is there something insecure about plastic wrap?  |

| That needs a little more research..Saran Wrap and a rubber band comes to mind from my youth..but never tried it to block out the "Internet noise" on my cat5 before the router.

You will need to use a heat sealed polyethylene bag for your WAN cable, otherwise some of the bits will leak out.
As I recall, that was also a problem with that other application as well.

| I always wondered if those sealed bags would stop the electrons in the outermost shell of copper from forming a covalent bond with sulphur so I would put some intert gas in the bag before I sealed them up.
I also have taken Aluminum foil in a shallow plastic tray with boiling hot water and salt..placing all my silver coated connectors on the foil and used that method for silver cleaning..works great and makes me feel secure that my WinXp runs a little bit faster when it is all hooked up.

This cable was made in China, so there is plenty of Lead in it to shield it.

Yep, just like the Cisco router that was packed in the same box.
