A nice thing about the I-D system is that we don't have to waste RFC numbers on this sort of crank nonsense. Once upon a time the IETF would end up publishing this sort of thing as an RFC and then everybody would just ignore it, but that used up the numbers and short memorable numbers are nice, which was a shame. Now we can publish them as "drafts" which just quietly expire once their interest moves on to investigating which metal foils can be made into hats that best resist government mind control rays or whatever.

You joke, but Allan H. Frey already solved that in the 1960s, just add a 2"x2" wire mesh near the temples, over the temporal lobes. Blocks all RF interaction with the brain, no tin foil hat required.

...of course, this doesn't block 'mind control rays', the only thing it actually blocks consists of the Microwave auditory effect, and the only target audience for that consists of Radar techs walking around in front of hugeass antennas. ;)

And perhaps US diplomats in Cuba.
