Here's the study abstract:
Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. We investigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a sample group of four individuals. Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government's invasive abilities. We theorize that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.The entire study can be found here. Time to find some new protection.

I actually discovered this long ago through personal experience, and switched to the newspaper helmet. As far as I can tell, ut doesn't repel government signals, but it looks better (and perhaps less crazy? (and at least it doesn't amplify the transmissions)).
I find that in addition to being functional..turn it over and it makes a good ash tray...people really find them sexy
I once dated a girl named Delores. Delores Mulva.
I prefer batteries and batteries-related items to Holden Tees.
