Remember to switch it off if you invite Dick Cheney in for a visit, though. Frying his pacemaker would be a bit of a PR hit.

You made it weird by singling out Cheney, but impact on medical devices is an important consideration for any such scheme.

The intention wasn't to "make it weird"; he simply serves as a prominent example of a) someone with an implanted medical device and b) someone who probably spent a lot of time in SCIFs.

Not frying his pacemaker would be a hole in the perimeter
