LOL:
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.

Or maybe they don't really want us to wear them, and they're using MIT to put out a bogus study.
It's a conspiracy involving conspiracies.

The only way to prove or disprove this is to do more intensive studies. I'll go apply for some government grants today!

They weren't making them right.
The frame must be shaped in an inverted double-reverse pentagram, with a Star-of-David placed at the crest.
Use platinum, if you have it.

Wait a second...

Notice that this deals with ALUMINUM foil! A casual mistake? An inadvertent slip-o'-the-tongue? Careless proofreading? I don't think so.
It's obvious that Someone wants us to put our trust in aluminum foil.
Isn't ALCOA a member of the Council on Foreign Relations?
