Hazards of wireless devices

So far everything I've read about wireless networking suggests that it's
relatively safe, in terms of radiation exposure. What is the general
consensus among users?

Excellent article, thank you. So my only question now is, where in my
laptop is the wireless antenna likely to be? I assume it's near the
ethernet adapter (?)

Completely safe, as long as you don't use it to offend anyone.

That depends on the laptop. With built in should be in the lid.

Could be anywhere. Mine is somewhere to the right of the keyboard, on
the other side of the keybord from the ethernet port.

Considering that (1) WiFi radiated power levels are much lower than
cellphones, and that (2) WiFi antennas are much farther away from
sensitive tissue than cellphones, it seems clear that WiFi is way
less dangerous than cellphones.

So, do you see piles of corpses clutching cellphones to their heads?

That specious Chicago lawsuit only demonstrates that one result of
modern technology is to convert ambulance chasers to antenna chasers.

Wireless causes anxiety, poverty, confusion, elevated blood pressure,
and sleeplessness. Before I got started in wireless, I had a steady
hand, full head of hair, decent bank balance, and positive attitude.
After years of exposure to wireless, the hands are shaking, the hair
is falling out, the bank account depleted, and I've developed a truely
cynical attitude. Obviously, this could only be caused by wireless
exposure.

I find women can have a similar effect.

Wellll... there is the possibility that cell phones don't kill
people, but merely make them significantly stupid.

Look around and see if there isn't just a pile of brain damaged
people clutching cell phones... :-)
