On the Effectiveness of Aluminium Foil Helmets: An Empirical Study
From the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab at MIT comes this important study:
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 theorize that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.

Update: Hattip Neddie Jingo!
Update 2: On Friday, a google search for "Fringe community of paranoids" netted exactly 2 results, both of which pointed to the web sites of the authors of the study. As of this writing, there are three pages of results for that query. Just goes to show what can happen if Slashdot picks up on a story.

In my case, the invasive signals are coming from inside my head. I fear that a helmet would only trap them in. Do you have any anti-helmets?
My apologies - I didn't catch your comment until this very second. While we at HSI are not helmet experts, we do have some experience with microwaves and other radio-frequency devices. Perhaps rather than a helmet, you should mount a yagi on your head - you'd then be able to beam the signals wherever you'd like.
er, make that yagi, instead.
