Tinfoil hat warning!

--> Wearing a tinfoil hat to deflect government mind-control
--> radio waves is even more foolish than most people think.
--> According to several (apparent) students from MIT who tested
--> several hat designs, there was "a 30 db amplification at 2.6
--> Ghz and a 20 db amplification at 1.2 Ghz, regardless of the
--> position of the antenna on the cranium."
--> 
--> The students note that "the helmets amplify frequency bands
--> that coincide with those allocated to the US government
--> between 1.2 Ghz and 1.4 Ghz. According to the FCC, These
--> bands are supposedly reserved for 'radio location' (ie,
--> GPS), and other communications with satellites."
--> 
--> The researchers speculate that the government is behind the
--> rumour that tinfoil hats protect people from invasive radio
--> signals in order to encourage their use and therefore to
--> enhance the effectiveness of their radio control program.
