Time for new tinfoil hat designs! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

An MIT study on the effectiveness of tinfoil hats has just concluded, with some alarming findings!

Abstract:
Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. We investigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a sample group of four individuals. Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government's invasive abilities. We theorize that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.

Full study and results:

Someone might want to cross-post over in tilted p^r^noi^. I can't post there or they might notice.

I suspect they would have had different results had the tinfoil hats been connected to a ground. Without grounding they just act like antennas. Every real paranoid knows that.
