Here's the list from your reference. Notice that even MP3 players with
earbuds are a risk!


The risk is not so much any RF but rather from magnetic fields. All
the items on your list have magnets somewhere. MP3 player ear bugs
are a good start. Magnets are used to program and control a
pacemaker. A friend managed to make a mess of his pacemaker
programming with an electric drill motor.

As for RF shielding:
