[UA] Aluminium Undergarments

  It is now illegal in Colorado to wear aluminum
  underwear. "This is serious business," insists State Sen. Stephanie
  Takis, who sponsored the bill. "We have laws against using crowbars as
  theft devices, but if you were lining your underwear with aluminum
  foil, that was not a crime." It is now. Apparently, shoplifters found
  such so-called "iron pants" allow them to sneak stolen items past anti-
  theft scanners at store doors. The law also allows store security
  officers to detain people who "crackle when they walk," but provides an
  exception for aluminum britches worn for "personal amusement".
