tin hat
Slang for helmet
A tin hat is a metal helmet, especially the kind worn by soldiers in World War I and II.
The term now appears mainly in tin hat conspiracy or tin hat theory—beliefs so paranoid they suggest the believer might wear a metal hat to block mind-control signals.
Someone called a tin hat or tin hatter holds such views.
