Only if you have a tall, pointy spike on the top of the hat and use it sitting with your feet in a salt water bath in a galvanized bucket on wet dirt outside during a thunderstorm. The spike dissipates the negative energies reflected away from your head by the tin foil covering. The salt water foot bath relaxes the sphincter muscles allowing the best flow of bad karma.

Love the line about the blocking ability in the sales lit:



Please Note: EMP DEFENDER BAGS are not intended to completely block

cell phone transmissions. Microwave transmissions from cell phones and

Wi-Fi equipment are not valid testing methods to determine the

integrity of a Faraday Cage.





Those aren't farady cages; they're glorified anti-static bags that do

bugger-all for RF shielding unless they are (properly) grounded.

Stuff designed to sell to people who don't/can't do science...

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you

gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his

own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
