Overpressure Not Airtight: How Mamads Actually Work

How can a room with visible gaps — around the door, through wall jacks — still offer genuine CBRN protection? The answer is overpressure, not hermetic sealing. In this episode, we unpack the engineering principle that makes Israeli safe rooms work, why the leaks are actually a safety feature, and why internet access in a mamad is mental health infrastructure. The physics is the same as a hospital isolation room, just reversed: push clean air outward, and contaminants can't drift in.
