Oh Jeez, folks, now I'm really scared.
This article says that even your helmet won't protect you. But then I thought,"Maybe the article was planted just to get us to quit wearing our helmets."
What to do, what to do?

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 speculate that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.

such as the kind worn as the holy headgear of the Pastafarians, should suffice to keep the bad radio waves out, and the groovy vibes coming in.
(Watch for locks though, even though you are laughing at them, not with them)
On a serious note, better return that helmet b
True protection comes from a Faraday suit
It still has an antenna on it
