Why not put the passenger cabin in a Faraday cage? Shouldn't be that hard or costly to do, compared.

The fuselage IS a Faraday cage. Only the division between passenger/pilot probably needs attention. A good idea.

But some of the electronics are not in the cockpit.

Mostly because a faraday cage the size of the plane would be quite heavy, I guess
