All right, it finally made it to the news last night: "Portable cell phones (not car phones with external antennas) can give you brain tumors." I personally wouldn't hold a 3 watt transmitter next to my head all day, but I think that the article tried to play on scare tactics. It was kind of like David Brodeaur's (sp?) _Currents of Death._ Now everyone with bagphones and hand-held models are going to try to sue motorola, right? Even if they only have a .6 watt model? I realize that some of the higher powered radios, such as the military motorolas, have warning stickers on them; however, I thought that they were much more powerful than the highest legal powered cell-phone. Anyway, what does net.wisdom say about this? Michael Townsend michaet@hubcap.clemson (maybe someone should crosspost this to misc.consumers to *really* start the flame wars! Nahhhhh I want educated opinions first. . :-) )
