    The maximum distance is 40 mm.

    Yes, not really a practical attack so far. Though putting it under a table were you expect people to put their phones, or elsewhere where they are expected to put their phones for example a place where people have to turn in their phones, a security scan etc, then the limited distance would not matter as much.
