i am unable to provide a direct answer,

i do have anecdotal evidence of a similar device which DOES work and i can describe that to you...

first, wrap two layers of tin foil around yer head horizontally...
then wrap on layer around yer head vertically...
poke holes for yer eyes and nose as you like, for this simple lil (similar to a faraday cage) device will protect you from;
all electronic listening devices (think fbi, cia, nsa, wikileaks, rookieleaks, etc)
alien transmission, even if you already been probed...
alien impregnation - absolutely flawless contraception...
bullets...
and, the christmas fruitcake...

anyhow, it works a lot like that...
