No, if possible even unplug it to prevent any possible issues if there are power spikes.
Honestly, one of the best pre built faraday cages you can get. Just buy an old broke or beat up one. Stick in the garage and just keep sensitive electronics in it all the time. Pull out if needed and put them back in when done.
actually yes it does, it needs to be grounded or it won't redirect the energy to ground. You could connect the ground on the plug to ground itself, such as a water pipe(unless you have pex) or a copper coated rod used to ground the electrical system in the house, NOT THE GROUND BUS in the electrical panel!!!!!
Does it need to be plugged in?

Not sure an EMP is the worry but more or less signal transmission to your device for purposes of a forced update or firmware load.
Or remove the 2 positive/neutral tabs and leave the ground and stick it in the outlet?
I’ve got one in the garage and it now has a new use. Thanks fren!
If it is plugged in, the cage is grounded out. If not the cage is floating, but it remains a cage nonetheless.
