May I personally recommend the KrisDel™ Universal Foil Helmet? I have been wearing one with great success for several months.

I myself am working on a new adjunct, based on a marriage between cub scout garter tabs:

... and car anti-static straps:

My calculations suggest that this new product, in combination with the above-mentioned foil appliance, will provide the ultimate in protection without drawing attention.

Don't know what's in vogue now - I used to wear garter-tabs like those when I was in the cubs - oooh - about ½ century ago.

The guy could be preyed on with implanted gear, and no one would ever know it.

We know it's not the wifi alone. Without an implanted device, there's no chance of the wifi driving you out of your home ( or your motel refuge).

But an implanted microstimulator is a feasible weapon. The means of installation are rapid and portable. (hypodermic injection the classic case). The amplitude required is way less than safety code 6 limits on adverse effects.

People talk about sending the poor shmuck to the shrinks. But the psychiatrists are partnered with the device industry in this day and age. They get money for patient research subjects. They don't want any hanky panky involving their partner's gear to be public. The psychiatric assumption is completely unfair - and dangerous to public safety - unless there's a convincing diagnostic imaging procedure to make sure none of these poor folks are actually victims.

So, dear engineers, go ahead and point out to me one single instance where a valid diagnostic imaging procedure was provided to such a complainant and scientifically showed that there's no implant.

ALthough I don't doubt some complaints like this are just crazy, I also doubt you can show me that the technical possibilities are ever ruled out in medical examination (or ever have been, just one case show me, just for fun, where they did the test even though there's no requirement to do so.) Until I see that, I remain a sceptic.
