lol, yeah! nothing like a little cardboard and tinfoil to get the job done, and when you finish you can just wipe it off and put it back on your head (to keep the gov't from reading your mind with their x-ray radioscope mind readers)

To save money i'm sure. Just like no more under hood lights or only a key lock on the drivers door on tahoes etc... When you multiply every nickle saved by a million it counts.
