A Sacramento family has wrapped their house in aluminum foil.

The D’Souza family lives in the home on Timberwood Court, and claims the aluminium pieces are necessary to protect them from unknown neighbors who have been bombarding them with radio waves and making them sick. “(It’s) a shield to protect against radiation, because microwave radiation is reflected off of aluminium, so it’s a protective measure,” resident Sarah D’Souza said. The D’Souzas said the bombardment began after the first anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and that the radio waves have caused them health problems ranging from headaches to lupus.

Sacramento Code Enforcement officials have gotten involved and ordered the family to remove the metal by Monday or face a misdemeanor citation.

See! The Man doesn’t want you to be able to protect yourself from radio waves! What conclusions can we draw from that? (c.f. Max Weber’s classic work of social criticism, “The Aluminum Cage”)

To be on the safe side, better wear EMF-shielded clothing. Pity they don’t offer an electric undergarment.

And, to be wholly serious, if my next U.S. passport has an RFID chip, its home will be a Faraday cage bag.

Also, it makes me happy that Tinfoil Hat Linux exists.
