What brand of foil do you use for your hats? I find Reynolds to be too expensive but anything else I just don't feel like does a good job blocking the beta waves
What big brother doesn't want you to know:
Any brand as long as it has nonstick coating.
Ms. Krabaple, I ate my foil...
I prefer my tinfoil hats in cast iron
I only use the tinfoil in my wallet.
I remember everyone calling me crazy in the early 2010's for pointing out that the new smart chips in credit cards could be read by various electronic devices, and that this could be blocked by basically lining your wallet with tinfoil.
Nowadays of course you can just buy wallets with it neatly built in.
You can also line a backpack or laptop bag with tinfoil on the inside to do shoplifting, as long as they have the older style scanning towers.

So a crime perpetrated by highly technically competent attackers, that can be done and hidden easily by such highly competent attackers, has never been proved to have happened, even though this very article outlines that it is very doable...
Do you think this means I am somehow incorrect in stating that this is a thing that can happen? An article that explains that it can happen?
Or do you think it 'proves' that it doesnt make sense to worry about, or take steps to mitigate?
I got the RFID mitigating wallet I have for 10 dollars. Its a great wallet, easily worth 10 dollars whether or not it has RFID protection.
It's a non-existent crime. You do you, man.
I mean, I know how to do it and get away with it, but I dont because I am a decent person.
I'm sure you do, bud.
