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 speculate that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.

I superglued Aluminum foil to the roof of my mouth so democrats can't steal my words.

Duh! I thought for sure I was safe in this.

Hmm, I'll take one of those. Can you order one online?
Does the girl include the helmet, or do I have to supply my own?

Man, as a newbie I sure thank you for posting this. I thought some of these FReepers were pulling my leg about those hats.

Hmmmmm...I encountered a "Spiritual One" this morning on my way downtown. Several cars were at a long stop light and we were captive to him for a bit. He had a scraggly face hair and was wearing rags. He had a bandanna around his head covering his eyes but I am sure he could see. In his hand was a cardboard sign that warned us of the government bombarding us with Radio Waves, Radar Waves and Cell Phone like devices.
My first instinct was to rush home and procure a aluminum helmet for him but the high price of gas deterred me. After reading this study I know now that I made the right choice and spared him the false security of a defective and near useless Tin Foil shield...
