Can you believe it, parents are suing a school because the school is using wifi. They are claiming the radio waves could damage the students health. I am wondering how many of those parents that are suing have cell phones, cordless phones, remote controls, etc...

I think it needs to be studied more. For all we know it is causing cancer or birth defects or something. (Of course it may be helping us in some way too)

Even if it is potentially causing cancer, birth defects, etc., we're all doomed anyway. Fact is the WiFi signal is no different than any other radio transmissions, be it radio station signals, cel signals, television signals, etc. Face it, we're surrounded by radio waves all day every day. Think about all the radio waves at an airport. Should we sue airports too? Would this give me the right to sue cel phone users since I never have and never plan to own a cel phone? I mean, everywhere I go I see at least one person on a cel phone so technically they could be subjecting me to harmful radio waves. Right now the person sitting next to me is using a cel phone. I think I can feel the radio waves eating my brain cells. I'm going to sue her... blah! What a bunch of crap.

That's the reason I wear a tin foil hat. And people think I'm odd................does a nice job of deflecting all those WiFi waves.

Will we now have War Chaulking 101 in second period after Lit.??? :rolleyes:

Ph34r me....ph34r my wonder-hat....... ;)

Actually, that looks a lot nicer than mine. Mine's made of used t.v. dinner trays, but tb525's captured the essence alright.
In addition to microwaves, it seems to repel certain intelligent people, too. Further study's needed......... :rolleyes:
