Be advised that prolonged application of a tin foil hat might cause overheating of the brain, which leads to expression of gibberish theories and unsubstantiated claims.

Which leads to a parallel question - which came first, the chicken or the egg?

I feel really dirty posting a correction to a thread like this, but tin plated steel cans are still commonly used.

If you have canned goods in your pantry that require a can opener they are most likely made of tin plated steel.

The more concerning thing about clothing made from tin is its tendency to crumble in cold weather, as the crystalline structure of the tin shifts at lower temperatures. This is called tin pest and must have been tragic for the scarecrow and the lion to watch.

Probably a self-fullfilling prophecy :)

But given that the basics of shielding need to be learned (or at least believed), why do people then cease to learn (or believe) how waves propagate, what a wavelength is, estimate the order of magnitude energy will have to be, to set it in proportions and such. And then there is this question why a whole network would even care about external conditions. That's a hen and egg problem.
