I think a (slightly) more plausible theory is that the government
reserved those frequencies because of the aluminum foil headgear
craze...

The answer, of course, is a full-body Faraday cage:

Ah, yes. Clearly, this gentle knight took his codpiece to the grave.

A full body Faraday cage could be made to be both practical, and stylist! There are many light, strong alloys you could have it built from. Metals can be made into fibers and woven or knitted into cloth or fused into a felt. It could be made into chain, plate or scale mail. You could polish the metal to a mirror shine, or buff it to a practical matt finish to help hide scuffs and scratches, or paint it to match your mood and personality.

This has been raised before. I deny all knowledge of this man and his inferior beard! :wink:

1. I have a black hat. Steve's is sort of tan.

2. My beard is crisp and shiny. Steve's is... (I don't want to be impolite, so I'll stop here.)

Just to show that I'm fair and balanced (or fairly balanced... or at least not too off-kilter), I present the argument from the other side of the controversy.

The AFDB (Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie) site has a rebuttal to the MIT study.
A recent MIT study calls into question the effectiveness of Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanies. However, there are serious flaws in this study, not the least of which is a complete mischaracterization of the process of psychotronic mind control. I theorize that the study is, in fact, NWO propaganda designed to spread FUD against deflector beanie technology, and aluminum shielding in general, in order to disembeanie paranoids, leaving them open to mind control.
I like the word "disembeanie". :)

Yeah, Steve's beard needs a little sharpening. I like his tinny hat though.
