Or, contact Ultrasone and let them make you a "MU metal shield" suit.
And to your sig: In America it is easier. In Canada all you got are hockey sticks. In Europe, well, throw the French military at them, it'll buy you time.

Oh crap, a bunch of Canadian zombies? "Brains, you hoser!" "More brains, eh?!"

lol. seems like they saw some amplification at some frequencies. i'm not sure of the accuracy of this experiment though... 30 db of amplification is extremely significant.

I think what was important was the frequencies that were amplified - 1.2GHz is government owned...

More likely it's because they inadvertently created a parabolic antenna with a focal point somewhere in the user's head... Sounds like their measurement technique is a bit off too. That is one funky antenna if they're managing to get > 15 dB over the theoretical maximum gain at 2.6 GHz. Also don't see how they're getting that that massive 40 dB dropoff from 1.2 to 1.5 GHz

I strongly recommend the ERS paper.

It can be very effective, as many experiments at Head-Fi have demonstrated.

It does not, however, help with the orbital mind control satellites.

Then I shall stick to tin foil!

They used to add "tin" and a number of other metals to what most call Aluminum foil today. Many of you get that shielding does work dependant on the material. As a government scientist, I did measure a few of the EMs that some of these poor souls felt were killing them. Like most folks, "chemicals" affect us all differently. As do varying doses of electromagnetic radiation...
It just drives some of use "nuts."

How about tin foil fezes?

Yes and the only good thing to come from that movie was, "Everybody just calm down and eat some fruit!"

I'm assuming a lead helmet may have some what better of an outcome?
