It comes from the principle of reciprocity.  If the hull does not block
the
gravitic emanations on the way out, it will not be too much of a
hindrance
for gravitic emanations on the way in.	The frustrating part of
hardening
radios and other EM receivers to EMP is that antennas are supposed to
collect energy and conduct it through the hull surface, to the
equipment.

Then there is the matter that general relativity rules out anything that
blocks gravity.
