I think that in this case the aluminum foil was more important from a visibility (i.e., protest) standpoint than an actual RF shield. At least it seemed to act that way...

I only wish I had as much ganas...or to use a more widely-known term, 'chutzpah'. :-)

What're they gonna do? Arrest you for tinfoil? Right in the middle of a UN meeting?!?! Not likely. Go Richard! I do think the comment about killing Bob Kramer was not well-considered though. I'm sure it was meant as a joke but, well, it's not very funny and the people involved in these issues seem to take that kind of talk far more seriously than they should. Best not to give them any ammo, as it were... ridiculous as it may seem.
