You've just gotta love MIT.

Update: In related news - BYU professor thinks bombs, not planes, toppled WTC (his paper here). Any analysis should probably focus on the WTC-7 building, which wasn't hit by planes, but it's more fun to note his previous research, Evidence for Christ's Visit in Ancient America.
On the Effectiveness of Aluminium Foil Helmets: An Empirical 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.

I swear, this looks like a project from an undergrad lab class in course 6-1 (EE).
And he partnered with Media Lab, which explains a lot...
I love MIT.
MIT vs OSU
BTW, welcome. I've seen you commenting on
Re: MIT vs OSU
For example
I think next year is going to be my 10th Marcon. I'm sure I've seen you around, and just never been introduced. I'm a regular on the media panels and the Buffy Singalong.
