wouldn’t that make it wors? basically any signal can bounce off you, making yourself even easier to track.
Comment on Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals

Ironically, a tin foil hat would probably work to prevent that kind of surveillance

The tracking happens even with a big reflector/scatterer on your head, but as long as you dont wear it regularly, the system would have difficulty identifying you from wave propagation alone

So wear many different hats. Got it.

I mean, wouldn’t you anyway? You don’t wear your good Sunday tinfoil hat to work. That one’s for church and swinger club visits only!

Many different items of tinfoil clothing. Tinfoil shirt today, tinfoil codpiece for the weekend

Since it ‘figerprints’ you, changing your fingerprint by blocking parts of the signal with pieces of foil doesn’t seem like a terrible idea.
Now, the question is: is such a tactic like wearing gloves, or like using super glue?

A faraday hat.
