Fe2O3 + 2Al -> 2Fe + Al2O3 + heat (LOTS of heat...boiling molten iron!) The reaction is highly energetic but the mixture is (fortunately) difficult to ignite. As for the paint being a hazard due to the thermite reaction...maybe if you somehow extracted the Al and iron oxides from all of the other goo. Otherwise I'd say no hazard. SC – Wrong answer.

Or possibly, there are several key facts that are outright WRONG. First, 802.11b/g (WiFi) runs in the 2.4GHz frequency range, which is significantly less than 50GHz. Cell phones also work in the less-than-50GHz range (yes, that includes gsm, edge, and 3G), and so would be blocked. Second, this is about what the Hindenburg was painted with. Why would you paint your house with THERMITE? They aren't clear on exactly what the mixture/compound is. Third, where did you people place your brains while reading the majority of this article?
