Definition of Foil. In literature, a foil is a character that has characteristics that oppose another character, usually the protagonist.
Presumably, some particularly paranoid individuals were inspired by this and decided to try it themselves. I'm not sure if people still try to use this technique to combat mind control, or if it's fallen by the way side as aluminum foil has largely replaced tin foils in households. Regardless, it remains a common meme in media, particularly in science fiction.
