Someone did a study at MIT about tin foil hats, and found that not only do they not screen radio interference, in some cases, can actually magnify them.

Conclusion: 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 (see, for example, [3]). The 2.6 Ghz band coincides with mobile phone technology. Though not affiliated by government, these bands are at the hands of multinational corporations. It requires no stretch of the imagination to conclude that the current helmet craze is likely to have been propagated by the Government, possibly with the involvement of the FCC. We hope this report will encourage the paranoid community to develop improved helmet designs to avoid falling prey to these shortcomings.

Correction: someone did a study at MIT about aluminum helmets, not tin foil hats. The important distinction being aluminum vs. tin.

Word to the wise: Only buy tin for your protective day wear, as it hasn't been proven ineffective at blocking radio waves by MIT, unlike aluminum. Stay safe out there!

Quick addendum: This is a bit. Don't come after me, Big Aluminum.

aluminum vs. tin

isnt most if not all tinfoilj just aluminum foil these days? It's one of the legacy terms that nobody really uses correctly anymore.

Obviously an Illuminati plot to prevent us from effectively shielding ourselves from their mind control.

No, your statement was 100% correct. What I'm saying is that the Illuminati were the ones who changed the material tinfoil is made of in order to make it less effective.

oh shit, you're right, this is a conspiracy!

There is also steel and gold foil. Neither is great for hats, but they're still options!

"Oh...no, no, no honey, the steel foil hat doesn't go with that outfit, try the gold one."

They could start wearing those lead vests radiologists put on you when you get an xray alongside the aluminum hats. We know those definitely block radiation at least. Maybe a combo would make it block mind control rays extra good.

If we're in the business of blocking/absorbing signals instead of reflecting them, apparently cesium bromide is a solid choice.
