The cell phone scare is over just like the abortion breast cancer scare is over. Economics and convenience dictate what's over or not over in this country, let's not kid ourselves. Let's go back to our dream worlds now.

There are many cases in the past of something that was assumed to be safe, that turned out not to be.
It is really impossible to say what the consequences of prolonged exposure will be in a large population except by actual experience.
If it turns out that in 20 years there are many middle-aged women with poor memory and short attention spans, people will start to wonder again.

Morse Code makes you stutter.
CB Radio makes you speak with a southern drawl.
TV makes you look fat.
Cell phones make your brain tilt.
Microwave ovens make you sterile.
AM radio makes you speak Spanish.
The Internet forces you to view porno.
Bluetooth wireless forces creative passwords.

1.8 ghz next to one's head WILL have a cumulative effect. RF always has a cumulative effect and more so at that frequency. For that reason, I always use a headset to keep the antenna away from my head. Best wishes to all.

Yet no other reporter bothered to look for these numbers, either because they didn't have the ability or they didn't have the integrity to dig up the evidence they knew would kill their own stories.
Sound like anyone we know?
After all, there’s so much more scary pseudoscience in need of media attention.
Ain't THAT the truth?

When it comes to science reporting, the MSM is probably even less reliable than the tabloids.

Doggone it! I was hoping all those jerks I see on the road every day yapping on cell phones while they drive were doomed!

"They" are still claiming cell phone start fires, despite what Mythbusters proved.

My only complain about this article is that the words "insipid" and "Larry King" are not in the same sentence.
