My parent’s table pads do precisely that. After a particularly baffling family tech support call I drove over. Their kitchen table pads magnetically lock to stay nicely aligned, and also either put a laptop to sleep, or keep it awake when closed depending how you place them.

How? The point is to prevent invisible eavesdropping not prevent some spook on the table from hacking you.
