DECT phones 'bad' - WiFi 'bad'?

Articles yesterday in the British press raised again concerns relating
to the hazards arising from DECT phones and their continuous microwave
emissions.

Should similar concerns apply to a home with several WiFi routers in,
'pumping out' 2.4GHz 24/7??

And the sky might fall on our heads - some folk just aren't happy without
something to worry about.... :-)
It's even funnier when you see some chain smoker complaining about mobile
phone masts - clueless...

Crivvens. The articles probably appeared in the National Enquirer and
the Sunday Sport.

Similar concerns should indeed exist. Which is fine, since the
sensible concerns level for DECT phones is zero.

But if it worries you, wear a tinfoil hat... :-)

Uh-uh! Some folks at MIT (iirc) actually researched the effects of tinfoil
hats on radio waves. They found that you got higher energy levels _under_
the tinfoil hat than you did if you didn't use one :-)

I'd love to work somewhere that gets grants to do this sort of
research. I mean ,can you imagine the application form, or the
interview board? :-)

This makes sense .. the "hat" is a parabolic reflector.. it concentrates the
radio waves into your head... nice

I'm sure they did it on their own time :-) Also, iirc, they actually tested
tin vs aluminum foil. I can't remember how that worked out.
