The only use for it I can think of would be that people who believe in government conspiracies/ aliens being real wear little hats made of aluminum foil. The aluminum is so the aliens don't get to your head!

@Mashii: Thank you for your response.
I came across this expression when I was reading the TIME magazine and I think you're right because the one I found in the article also discussed such thing as a conspiracy.
It seems to be a kind of metaphor.

@hasen: Thank you for your response and sharing a clear pic with me.
I know that this expression is originally from what you mention, but combined with the word”hat”, it may imply another meaning far from the foil in and of itself.
