Apparently it is condescending to tell a liberal tin foil hat nut that he or she is a nut but it is perfectly OK to call a conservative tin foil hat nut a nut... Only in DU Land
Ah---- back in the early days of 1970 CB usage, some owners bought these devises to boost their power.
What fun for the neighbors 3 miles down the road to start questioning their sanity when their refrig. began to talk to them, Some claimed they were picking up voices on the metal fillings in their teeth and we had to buy some sort of gizmo for the TV to protect it from making announcement at odd times.
When things got bad we would see white vans in the neighborhood circling about with some kind of gizmo on the roof trying to find the source of the boosters.
Jump ahead to 1989, Cable was odd, one could only hook up one TV in the home. If you spliced the cable to run 2 or 3 TVS, and caught, you faced huge fines.
Times have changed today, My cable feeds into 3 TV's for one price. I have not used my CB in years and all truckers have cell phones.
No wonder the old time folks wear the tin foil hats, no telling what the new radio wave technology has developed in 25 years.
I will say that these radio waves are a grand weapon to use against the enemy, I can see no benefit of wearing a tin foil hat as with enough power, as in the Bible, the walls will come a tumbling down. Substained high pitch sound waves will cause bricks to break and people to have their brains melt.
