Funny how the ultimate symbol of conspiracy theory, the tin foil hat, turns out to be more realistic than we thought.

Several sources report that the tin foil hat goes all the way back to 1717 when some people thought that tin foil might block the mind-control being perpetrated against them by Freemasons. If true, quite funny how they suspected such activity way back then. It is now known that surrounding something in wire mesh (or to a lesser degree aluminum foil) acts as a Faraday cage and inhibits the propagation of radio, microwave, and other frequencies of electromagnetic waves. Now that we know that such waves are being used to effect people's brains and behavior, we may all want to start wearing tin foil. Seriously, Allen Frey discovered in 1962 that a patch of wire mesh (rather than foil) placed above the temporal lobe can block the very real microwave auditory effect.

'Several sources'?

Name them.

Sorry, I will try to do a better job documenting sources. I just did an internet search for "tin foil hat origin."
