Interesting Darren. First, since BBFW doesn't involve direct human exposure, this is not really an issue with BBFW companies. But regarding direct microwave exposure through cellphones, I can tell you that there is compelling research that links cell-phone freq/power level exposure with the induction of cortical and subcortical pre-cancerous cell morphology. MOT originally sponsored the research (in Florida) and when the results were not what they apparently wanted, they stopped the research project last year. (Brown and Williamson, anyone?) Anyway, others have continued these studies and the results make one think hard about using a cell phone for "baskets of minutes". (come to think of it, perhaps "caskets" is more like it <1/2 g>) (OT - BTW, are you the Darren Denunzio that used to be on the NOCCC BB?)

If in 1987 " a number of reputable institutions...instituted large research programmes" to assess the health hazards of these devices, the long term results would have begun to be available by now. Have these institutions been part of, (frightened or bought off by) some dark controlling conspiratorial force? Such fear-based stuff is nearly always inaccurate, and promulgated by people who are less interested in doing good than in having some... any... influence in this world. The potential problem was worth studying and the studies were done. The results were negative. Why is that unacceptable?
