Idiots tilting at windmills.

“If you wanted to use a tin foil hat (well, an aluminum foil hat, but the “tin” misnomer is common in this use) to keep the government from reading your brain waves, well, that’s ridiculous. But if it weren’t ridiculous, it’d also be a bad idea. In 2008, some researchers at MIT — tongues firmly planted in cheeks — decided to see what effect tin foils hats had on invaded radio waves. And it turns out that the foil doesn’t keep the radio waves out; rather, the foil makes the radio waves more effective. The study — archived here, with lots of photos of people wearing stupid-looking foil caps — concludes that “statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government’s invasive abilities” and wonders if “the government may, in fact, have started the helmet craze for this reason.””
