Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as theprotective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. Weinvestigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a samplegroup of four individuals. Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average allhelmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions(either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from thecranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatlyamplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bandsreserved for government use according to the Federal CommunicationCommission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets mayin fact enhance the government's invasive abilities. We speculate thatthe government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.
This was on a MIT students page for the research he did. Read the rest of the article
here. Apparently they couldn't get their findings published. But this is very funny. Ah, MIT: the finest of research opportunities.
