He claimed that the units placed on the dash and aimed out the 
windshield were terrible because the window is very near the
Bragg angle and causes a large reflection.  He also said that
cataracts are much more common among officers.  Microwave
radiation and even rf is much more dangerous than many people
think.  It can cause brain damage and other things that are
difficult to trace or quantify.

Please reserve comments about cops being blind or brain dead etc.
