Re: any science to this?



Likely something like the APS statement on power lines needs to
be articulated; see <http://www.aps.org/statements/95.2.html>
following a compendium or meta-analysis of the research.

A year and a half ago I spoke to a group of about 50 students
who expressed concerns about cellphones and brain cancer;
I asked how many owned cell phones and nearly 100% did. I
then asked who personally knew someone with brain cancer.

The real problem is that money that could be much better
spent providing teacher salaries or public health care is
squandered on litigation.
