I'm not sure either but I think an f-cage will work fine if it conducts
well enough.

True, but I don't think there are any laws against shielding my house. If
my electronics happen to be in that house...
After all, elevators, tunnels, and some car bodies act as pretty good
f-cages but it's not illegal for me to have my electronics while I'm in
one of those.
