Turning spacecraft into large magnets has undesirable side effects and does
not affect electromagnetic radiation. But clearly a creative approach to
radiation management will include not only methods of attenuation but also
methods of deflection. What the heck; it works on Star Trek.

Vehicles docking would be built with non magnetic materials like titanium.

So whats the problem?

Do strong artificial magnetic fields cause a health hazard?
