The MIT study looks like good science. At the proper frequencies the
helmet will act as an antenna rather than a shield. This has to do
with the relationship of the wave length of the radio signal with the
dimensions of the helmet. What is skipped over is the relevance of
radio signals to the brain in the first place. This is an excellent
source, and could be cited in [[April Fool's Day]] if there were not
so many other excellent examples.

It put me rather in mind of this ground-breaking study:
http://www.plokta.com/plokta/issue23/teapot.htm which gives us a
verifiable source to back the frequently-repeated assertion that
''foo'' is about as much use as a chocolate teapot.
Sorry, a slow afternoon in the office :-)
