Actually, I am serious. Some people a while back published a study of the effects of tinfoil hats on radio waves. They found that the frequencies commonly used by the government and military are actually *amplified* by a tinfoil hat, not reduced. ;) Just thought this would be a funny aside to this, given that the issue is on a lot of levels being so overblown as to be completely ridiculous. Even if the government did want to track people with the damn things, the number of people, the expense of the readers, the complexity of the tracking network, etc. make it positively silly to contemplate that they *could* do so. There are far more cost effective and in same ways more useful and efficient methods they can use to track a few thousand specific people, without trying to track billions. |

It didn't work because they didn't tape *Canadian* coins all over the tinfoil. It's well known in paranoid-schizoprenic circles that the high nickel content of Canadian coins aids in resisting both high and extra-low frequency Brain Control N-Waves. |

Any conductive foil should work as long as it is grounded. (Would a ferro-magnetic foil work better?) Not sure how UN security would react to Richard trailing a ground wire behind him, though. |
