"Captain, magnetic shields at 50%! We've got to pull back." -- some future space traveler.
I remember some interesting discussions about magnetic shields in the NASA technical journal, but there were issues with things like electronics inside the shield and conductive cabling going through it to sensors outside of it. Even in the more detailed site (http://www.sr2s.eu/2013-08-01-15-34-14) I didn't see a lot of info on those sorts of "known" issues.
