    I think people need to use some common sense and understand that cell-phones, cordless-phones, wifi, etc. do emit radio waves and that it's not good to over-expose yourself to that. I don't think cell-phones in general pose any real cancer risk when used normally. But obviously if you leave it on next to your head radiating 24-hours a day, that can't be a good thing, but some people don't seem to realize things like that (the same ones who don't realize coffe is hot, I guess ;))

    I think it would be a good idea to include a small booklet or something with each wireless device sold, that explains RF and ways to reduce exposure. I'd like to see the wireless industry be pro-active about this before the ambulance-chasing lawyers whip up some bogus class-action lawsuits and start lawsuits against telecom companies, which in turn would result in higher prices for phones/contracts, and more $$ in lawyers pockets...
