      Didn’t even realize that was a word until I looked it up.

      the chemical element of atomic number 13, a light silvery-gray metal.

      Not sure how that relates in a conversation about tinfoil hats usage but sure why not.

      I’m sure the composition of the devices has a significant performance impact on their effectiveness, worthy of discussion. :p

        The successor to tin foil is aluminum foil. “Aluminum” is called “aluminium” in English-speaking countries outside the US.
