We're ten comments into my post on home improvements and the discussion has turned to a debate about the potential of aluminum siding to offer more protection from CIA probes than your old-fashioned, standard tin foil hat.

My understanding is that aluminum siding won’t protect you from government mind-control rays, but will protect you completely from good taste and aesthetic appeal.

Within the next 100 years, somebody is going to have to figure out how to restore a historically-important house with aluminum siding and I’m not going to be around to laugh at them thanks to the government’s Death Panels.

But what would you do about windows? Doesn’t really seem to be an effective mind-control ray solution.

In addition to the window, you have the roof to worry about. This may explain why metal roofs are becoming more common.

I think solid lead is the only way to be perfectly safe. I would make sure your next house comes with a bomb shelter.

The protection from mind control rays is wholly lost when some little thug turns his attention from copper theft to aluminum scrap. So is the protection from the elements. Vinyl, on the other hand, is worthless to thieves, so you at least get shielded from the weather. Vinyl is the way to go. Our county has historical preservation people who want to enforce painted wood, and my view has been, ‘they will pry my vinyl siding from my cold dead fingers’.
