I think you'll find it's not quite transparent, if you look close
enough.  There will be some shielding material, either as a fine screen
or very thin layer.  Those clear acrylic cases, that some people like,
are not shielded.  While it's not illegal to make, import or sell those
cases, a computer built with one would be illegal.
