Well, that explains it then. Aluminum foil doesn't work. It *HAS* to be 
TIN-foil.


I know it's hard to find now-a-days, but you really should make an 
effort to obtain the genuine article.

Actually, lead foil is much more effective, it's absorption  
characteristics being so much greater in both the incoming and  
outgoing waves. Unfortunately, it tears too easily, rendering it's  
efficacy moot with little skull-cap time. Tin foil is only marginally  
better for wearability.


A combination of all three is my choice of headgear, layering (from  
skull to outer-space) loose wool knit, covered with aluminum foil,  
lead foil, then tin foil, then a outer covering of aluminum foil. This  
sandwich of brain pan protection can be further enhanced by a chrome  
plated period motorcycle helmet with leather chin strap.


Do not bother enquiring at your local haberdashery. Roll your own.

I prefer plastic. I mean  foil COULD direct government radio waves (esp 
broadcasts, microwaves, whatever)  BACK toward the brain. While we all know 
plastic 
is NOT a good  conductor.
