Thank you for the information you provided.

Basically this confirms that (for transport purposes) "common" Faraday bags can be effectively replaced by *any* integral metallic shielding, not completely unlike the result of this simple experiment: http://www.scienceoffcenter.org/science/462-cell-phone-faraday-cage and that the "real issue" is the laboratory room/environment where you take the handy out of the tin/metal protection (to inspect, copy, etc.). I see very little issues in having a "proper thickness" tinbox, similar to these (examples): http://www.asia.ru/en/ProductInfo/488941.html http://www.indiamart.com/darshanmetalindustries/small-case-with-hinge.html http://www.indiamart.com/darshanmetalindustries/aluminium-sheet-metal-product.html with some foam in it to have not the handy touch the tin and/or "rattle too much" inside it and have inside it a "universal" battery pack, not completely unlike these (example): http://www.cellphoneshop.net/backup.html http://www.voltaicsystems.com/offgrid-battery.shtml And - this way - have an economical enough "evidence carrying solution", safe from the event of the battery discharging during transportation and also safer than a faraday bag (from the perspective of mechanical damages during transportation). So, the question remaining open could be "how thick must the tin be?" What if one plays "dumb" and uses instead a box like (still example) this one: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200343628_200343628 or one of those boxes designed to house (also) RF components? Examples: http://www.rittal.com/com-en/product/show/variantdetail.action?categoryPath=/PG0001/PG0002SCHRANK1/PG0003SCHRANK1/PRO0019SCHRANK1&productID=1554500 http://www.rittal.com/com-en/product/list/variations.action?categoryPath=/PG0001/PG0002SCHRANK1/PG0003SCHRANK1/PG0011SCHRANK1/PRO0009SCHRANK1&productID=PRO0009 http://www.ce-tek.co.uk/cea-series-p-129.html This one (which is a specific Forensic solution): http://www.rfshieldbox.com/ste2200f.html http://www.rfshieldbox.com/datasheets/STE2200F.pdf Reaches: Quote::  Isolation: o -100dB @ 1GHz o -90dB @ 3GHz o -80dB @ 6GHz with .90/.125" thickness. Additionally (or alternatively) one could use fabrics like (examples): http://www.lessemf.com/fabric.html#2272 http://www.lessemf.com/fabric.html#259 jaclaz
