    They do work...

    the helmets did in fact amplify signals, in certain very specific frequency ranges, by a huge 30dB at 2.6GHz, and by 20dB around 1.5GHz.
    Just not in the way intended.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Or maybe this is just secret government propaganda to get us all to stop wearing tinfoil hats!

    Try the Centurion model tin foil hat, it's much better than a regular version.

    OT: Why oh why did I drink all that alcohol yesterday? Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
    If you're fighting fair you've made a miscalculation.
