I'm starting to feel a social bond to this group (number crunchers).

It's very nice.

Oh no!

Quick, someone fetch the Project Psychiatrist, we've got another one!

Be very, very careful of announcing that social bond in public. People will think you are strange if you have anything in common with a large group of alien hunters.

Before long you'll have a green star and a house full of computers, or maybe several houses full of computers.

You'll spend your evenings staring at a computer looking for the optimum unroll settings and reading wiki articles and watching YouTube videos about radio astronomy and discussing how sensitivity scales with dish diameter.

I would ask, "Is that what you really want?" but it is too late for you.

Can someone send this guy one of the official tinfoil hats, please? I don't have a spare.

Merle... Abandon All Hope and just get it over-with. Oh, and get a second job to fund your new habit.

In a funny twist it would actually act as an antenna. Making one more receptive to such mind controlling devices.
For a faraday cage to work correctly it must complete surround the object. So a tinfoil suit is a much better idea. :)
