Sure wish these "reporters" knew something about RF emissions ....
And I bet this dingbat would go apeshit living next to me every time I keyed up 1500 watts into my tri-bander ...

In Naperville, IL, two mothers were arrested last week for refusing to allow utility workers to install controversial smart meters on their homes.
The city’s new Naperville Smart Grid Initiative requires new controversial smart meters to be installed in every home. Residents opposed to the smart meters have been fighting the initiative for over two years.
Jennifer Stahl, an advocate against the smart meters initiative, told The Blaze she “was protecting” her property when she refused to allow the smart meter installer install the device. She felt “like a momma bear protecting her babies,” she recalled.
Many opponents to the meters worry about the type of data the smart grid will collect, opening up a potential for hackers and criminals to know when residents are home or not. Also, because the meters work on a wireless RF system, some are concerned about health safety in their home. Reports of health risks due to the meter's wireless transmitter's omission of electromagnetic frequencies surfaced in 2011. People with the meters installed on their homes reported symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, tinnitus, and DNA breakdown.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Malia “Kim” Bendis was also arrested on two misdemeanors for resisting a police officer and attempted eavesdropping, when she filmed police on scene, despite a recent federal court ruling that the state of Illinois’s ban on recording police officers in the line of duty was “unconstitutional.” The U.S. Supreme Court upheld that ruling in November.
The city maintains that homeowners can opt out of the wireless transmitters but only by substituting those with an alternative meter at a high fee. The Tribune reports there is a $68.35 initial fee for the alternative meter plus a $24.75 monthly fee for manually reading it.

There was something about this on Coast to Coast this week.
Interesting interview.
Funny thing is it’s run by Republicans, well Illinois Republicans, so I guess commies is right.
They changed to those smart meters in my suburb last year. I hate it. I started getting statements in the mail that I was using more power than any of my neighbors. So I shut down my freezer and the AC . . .
3 days later ComED has a workman checking the smart meter to see if I bypassed it!
Bastards.
“Help, police! Two men are trying to break down my door and I and my three teenage girls are terrified. Please, please help!”
We’re sorry, ma’am, all available officers are currently busy enforcing the smart meter law. They might be available tomorrow between 9 and 10 am. Would that be OK? Now, remember, they don’t have to protect you, so don’t count on that, but if a crime is committed, they will be able to take your information and, if necessary, will be happy to contact your next of kin in case of death. Hello? Hello?
The city made me get one. 2 days later, my electricity went out. It cost me $1,000.00 to get it back on.

Guess i was doomed from the start, live in commiefornia and I just lease, have no choice in the smart meters. I DO remember some of the wording, like jail, fines, subversive acts, loss of electrical grid and to promote, would be cheaper, safer, less obtrusive, ...dang, anyone have those flyers that came with the PG&E bill? I just remember writing my landlord and saying I didn’t want this and electrical would still be more expensive BUT hey, I also pay for utilities
God bless those folks fighting this but I do wonder just how nasty these huge electrical companies can and will get with their lawyers and subverting the Lilliputians; I guess we’ve just seeen part and partial of their ‘skill-set.”

Knoxville,Tn = KUB = Knoxville Utility Board
A deep frier basket bought for one dollar at a yard sale, then mounted and grounded around the smart meter or any other RF device renders it incapable of sending or receiving any data. Just sayin’.
Tell ya what...there’s a real calling for a CONSERVATIVE Community Activist, right in Chicago. Those folks are seeing for themselves what kind of fruit the liberal tree actually bears, if they could get off the ideological bandwagon long enough to put two and two together, there could be a groundswell of Black Conservativism radiating from Chicago.
