why make it easier?

In 2005, a group of MIT students, prodded by "a desire to play with some expensive equipment," tested the effectiveness of foil helmets at blocking various radio frequencies. Using two layers of Reynolds aluminum foil, they constructed three helmet designs, dubbed the Classical, the Fez, and the Centurion, and then looked at the strength of the transmissions between a radio-frequency signal generator and a receiver antenna placed on various parts of their subjects' bare and helmet-covered heads.

The helmets shielded their wearers from radio waves over most of the tested spectrum (YouTube user Mrfixitrick likewise demonstrates the blocking power of his foil toque against his wireless modem) but, surprisingly, amplified certain frequencies: those in the 2.6 Ghz ( allocated for mobile communications and broadcast satellites) and 1.2 Ghz (allocated for aeronautical radionavigation and space-to-Earth and space-to-space satellites) bands.

I don't think you need any equipment to take a solid guess at what someone wearing a tinfoil hat is thinking.

yet it's been proven over and over again that those "crazy nut-jobs" were actually right about a lot of government conspiracies, especially with the cia/nsa, and the ones that thought those "nut-bags" were wrong were incorrect... but nonetheless, people like to forget that fact...

who's the "nut-bags" now?

truth is truth no matter how unbelievable it might be to some or most...

Again, and I believe this has come up in other threads....

"Truth" is evidently a subjective term, and the object thereof can be manipulated as needed.

Very few topics under the general topic of humanity are absolute, black and white, right and wrong, yes and no.

Our present topic will serve nicely.

Government surveillance of law abiding private citizens is Wrong.

UNLESS, there is reason to believe those very citizens are planning a crime against other law abiding citizens.

How do you find out if Mr. and Mrs. Smith are building car bombs in their spare time? Well, maybe Ms. Jones 'dropped a dime' on them and tipped off the authorities.

So the authorities start going through the Smith's garbage can.

Oh, but it turns out, Ms. Jones is jealous because Mrs. Smith got a new fur coat for her birthday, now there is suspicion that the tip is bogus.

Suddenly the water is murky, there is some odd stuff in the trash. The Smith's may indeed be planning on blowing up a Chinese restaurant because they don't like General Tso's chicken. Or instead, they might be cooking meth by the kilo. Or doing nothing at all, and the trash is just trash that looks funny, like trash does once in awhile.

Do the "Federales" have to wait until there are fortune cookies scattered all over the parking lot, which may never happen, or just ignore the tip and hope no cab drivers OD on badly made drugs?

If they raid their two bedroom ranch and find drugs instead of bombs, is the bust legal? They were looking for nitroglycerine and instead found a cache of Sudafed? Or, even worse, they kick in the door and shoot the Smith's dog, and NOTHING untoward was going on. Then what?

The Channel 6 helicopter is over the Smith's house, what's the "breaking news headline" going to say?

 

[+paradox]

let me give you an example:

people theorized that or they knew that there's a conspiracy of some sort for whatever reason, then it's proven that those people were right, which equals truth...

you're saying truth is lies...

no, truth is truth...

if a "fact" is proven to not be, than it wasn't ever a fact in the first place...

if something is true than it's the truth...

if "truth" is half truths or incorrect than that truth was never a truth, therefor false all along...
