In SR4, a really skilled hacker can interfere with drones, vehicles, and even handguns. So why not connect everything by fiber optics and add a great big "shut down all wireless modems" button? It would be extremely inconvenient and require a bit of cyberware (if nothing else, a datajack and some sort of router) to make it work, but I could definitely see this being used by paranoid street samurai.
