I wonder if it shouldn't be a thing we keep handy. Like a foldable Faraday cage (bag ?) big enough to fit a laptop that can be whiped out in case of emergency.

They definitely make Faraday cage bags that are about as thick as heavy mil trash bags. Depending on the issue (EMP?) you may need to double bag if primitive YouTube experiments are anything to go by (basically, does the phone ring/radio receive once it's enclosed).
