Default Re: Tin foil hats really work

The only possible explanation that I can think of is the phone is releasing EM radiation that happens to be at the same resonance frequency as some of the electronics in the cable modem. The tin foil hat is acting like a faraday cage.

Second thought.... is your cable line grounded???? If it isn't it might be acting like an antenna and the foil is completing the grounding circuit. Good luck experimenting!
