Aluminum foil beanies: MIT study refuted

I recently posted on the MIT study on the effectiveness of aluminum foil hats at preventing radio signals from being beamed into your head here. They found that aluminum foil hats, including the classical "Tin Foil conforming to head shape" style, the Fez, and the Centurion, basically didn't work.

The results have been recently refuted by Zapato Productions, who question both the experimental protocol, and characterize the study as "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."

They raise some interesting questions, such as why if the study claimed they used Reynolds aluminum foil, a premium brand, is there a roll of Chef's Pride brand visible in one of their pictures?

Also as they convincingly argue, it is hard to believe that paranoids who worry about signals beamed into their heads should trust people working for an organization deeply involved in the Military-Industrial Complex, i.e. MIT, which receives funding from DARPA.

I suggest you read the reports yourself.

Most Internet users have been targeted by criminal phishing emails, yet less than one third have any idea what phishing is, and only 3.5% have changed their habits due to the threat of phishing!

Risks include Identity Theft, Credit Card fraud, and more.
