Security isn't all or nothing. If something isn't "perfect", that doesn't mean it's useless. What you just described is a shit-ton of work, which most attackers will not be willing to do (how many police departments have Faraday cages lying around?).

Police departments use Faraday bags to isolate the communications of a device once they take it into custody. I assume they do this to prevent RemoteWipe() commands from running from external entities to preserve evidence.
