Steve and Tango alert! EMP measurement required!
Your beams is all up in my brain, jiggling my molecules!
So this moron essentially wants this lady to live without electricity just to accommodate him? I suggest that he move out into the desert by himself where it will no longer be a problem...
I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked!
The Supreme Court ruled on 4th amendment protections of privacy for whatever goes on in the bedroom.
That should include the emanations and penumbras that come from wireless routers.

I believe the Uni-Bomber’s cabin is available!
Arthur Firstenberg. Did you honestly think he'd look any different?
FWIW, Miss Firstenberg has written books on this topic -- this lawsuit is most likely an advertising ploy.
If he was really serious, of course, he'd be living 50 miles away from other humans....
If this ploy doesn't work, he can install solar collectors in the shadow of her house and sue to have her house moved or completely torn down. If I had his cell phone number, I could call and tell him myself.
Technophobes have been around for aloooooong time.
From the Ballad of Pious Pete:
Mad! If I’m mad then you too are mad; but it’s all in the point of view.
If you’d looked at them things gallivantin’ on wings, all purple and green and blue;
If you’d noticed them twist, as they mounted and hissed like scorpions dim in the dark;
If you’d seen them rebound with a horrible sound, and spitefully spitting a spark;
If you’d watched IT with dread, as it hissed by your bed, that thing with the feelers that crawls—You’d have settled the brute that attempted to shoot electricity into your walls.
Oh, some they were blue, and they slithered right through; they were silent and squashy and round; And some they were green; they were wriggly and lean; they writhed with so hateful a sound. My blood seemed to freeze; I fell on my knees; my face was a white splash of dread.
Oh, the Green and the Blue, they were gruesome to view; but the worst of them all were the Red.
They came through the door, they came through the floor, they came through the moss-creviced logs. They were savage and dire; they were whiskered with fire; they bickered like malamute dogs.
They ravined in rings like iniquitous things; they gulped down the Green and the Blue. I crinkled with fear whene’er they drew near, and nearer and nearer they drew.
And then came the crown of Horror’s grim crown, the monster so loathsomely red.
Each eye was a pin that shot out and in, as, squidlike, it oozed to my bed;
So softly it crept with feelers that swept and quivered like fine copper wire;
Its belly was white with a sulphurous light, it jaws were a-drooling with fire.
It came and it came; I could breathe of its flame, but never a wink could I look.
I thrust in its maw the Fount of the Law; I fended it off with the Book.
I was weak—oh, so weak—but I thrilled at its shriek, as wildly it fled in the night;
And deathlike I lay till the dawn of the day. (Was ever so welcome the light?)
I loaded my gun at the rise of the sun; to his cabin so softly I slunk.
My neighbor was there in the frost-freighted air, all wrapped in a robe in his bunk.
It muffled his moans; it outlined his bones, as feebly he twisted about;
His gums were so black, and his lips seemed to crack, and his teeth all were loosening out.
‘Twas a death’s head that peered through the tangle of beard; ‘twas a face I will never forget;
Sunk eyes full of woe, and they troubled me so with their pleadings and anguish, and yet
As I rested my gaze in a misty amaze on the scurvy-degenerate wreck,
I thought of the Things with the dragon-fly wings, then laid I my gun on his neck.
He gave out a cry that was faint as a sigh, like a perishing malamute,
And he says unto me, “I’m converted,” says he; “for Christ’s sake, Peter, don’t shoot!”

They’re taking me out with an escort about, and under a sergeant’s care;
I am humbled indeed, for I’m ‘cuffed to a Swede that thinks he’s a millionaire.
But it’s all Gospel true what I’m telling to you— up there where the Shadow falls—
That I settled Sam Noot when he started to shoot electricity into my walls
Yeah, I get it.
He's flying under the Radar.
Let's hope not. The basis of the complaint says that he suffers from radiated AND conduction emissions, meaning if you use a computer or anything, he is allergic to the minute level of noise your gear puts out on the power lines and all gear does that unless it's specially designed to meet US government TEMPEST regulations (which nothing consumers use is). Take that to it's logical conclusion and ALL electronics that might be on a line he has some level of connection with (i.e. everything on the grid) will have to be turned off so this guy can relax. And we'll have to turn off the sun and the universe, they emit atmospheric noise. I can see the 9th circuit ordering all electronics in California disabled and a giant farraday shield dome built around the state.
Actually, come to think of it...
Why do I suspect he also has a blog somewhere.
In other words, he doesn't really have a problem with EM waves, he just wants to be a controller. He probably was beat up a lot when he was a kid, but wasn't smart enough to be a nerd so he is overcompensating with his Napoleon Complex.
That's about the same reaction he would've received from me in three simple words, "GFY."
In this limited case it should be relatively simply to conduct a double blind test to assess his sensitivity to EM radiation. I got a gut feeling that the Null Hypothesis (no sensitivity) will be confirmed. The cost of the test, of course, is prohibitive.
EM sensitivity is like astrology or ESP it’s never been confirmed in any valid scientific test, but the believers adamantly reject the results of objective tests, citing all kinds of mechanisms that (in their minds anyway) invalidate the results.
In other words, it’s like Global Warming. The Luddites win because they the most hysterical people in the room.
Another whacko who thinks that everyone should change to accomidate him. Recently we have Air Canada making special peanut sections on planes, and soon we will have electronic free housing zones. It would be interesting to run some tests to see if this guy can tell when his neighbor turns her electronics on or off. IMO he is just angling for a nice disability check from the govt.
So why are you on your computer?
