No, you originally brought it up in reference to radio signals, not lightening. You used lightening to back up your point. If that were true, as you claimed, about the Faraday effect cancelling them out, then it would also be true on the ground, and you would not be able to use your phone inside the fuselage there, either. In actuality, you can barely hear yourself think while taxing to the terminal, as everybody and their cousin is on their cell phone calling people to announce their arrival.
-> If your Faraday cage isn't grounded, then it merely becomes an antenna for your radio. <-
Harry, you are the most argumentative person on these forums. You argue even with the people who agree with you. It seems to be your only mode of communication. Chill.
