DANG! Are you for real asking this? Well let me put my physics cap on. I was a physics major before flopping to computer science. I would say in essence the polarized glass would effect the radio waves much the same as the light waves. Radio waves and light waves are very similiar, in-fact. They are both electromagnetic radiation. The light waves just have a much higher frequency and subsequently much smaller wavelength. The light waves are something like 300 Terahertz, where the Wi-Fi wave is 2.4 Gigahertz. If the parallel polarized glass is setup to block light waves it will surely block the same amount (or more) of the radio waves. Of course those waves traveling parallel to the grid will still pass through. And so, if I read your question correctly, you are trying to theorize that radio waves are capable of traveling all in one parallel wave. I would say they are traveling in every possible parallel/perpendicular direction and the spread caused by antennae position is mearly a mass direction rather than a surf-like water wave projection. So the radio waves would still pass through the polarized glass, but only those waves traveling virtually parallel to the polarized direction of the grid. Of course you still have to consider the thickness and composition of the polarized material but why make it COMPLICATED.

*grin* What did you say..?? Sorry, just have never seen this type of question asked in this thread before... I will be interested in seeing the other experts answer this one..!!!
