We had one at a place I used to work.  They were clever and built it from
a lot of salvage, but still it's going to run tens of thousands of
dollars!  Mesh won't make a true Faraday cage for all freq's, so it has to
be solid copper panels, and the door has to have tongues and metal
contacts where it closes.  Forget windows, and I forget what they had to
do to get the AC to work...

Also, if radio can't get out, you can't listen to the radio inside either!
