I'm not convinced. All I see is banner waving.

If you did think, you would be more worried about a 5KW cellphone in
your pocket than a blue LED in your ear.

Cryptic, but if reference is made to 30Mhz and below (however, John
Kanzius DOES burn sea water with ~13.56Mhz--and, our blood DOES contain,
roughly, the same concentration of salt as sea water) ... not much worry
here; But then, for decades men have been exposed to TREMENDOUS fields
of these freqs--indeed, hang a turkey on a 5kw antenna, you'll eat a
cold dinner.

On power, my bluetooth is lucky to reach 30ft. I am amazed at how far
my cell phone reaches out to contact a tower ... I do get dropouts
(queued packets are dropped because they have timed out of their "place
in line", loss-of-signal and garble-ing in the valleys in the foothills
and behind hills/mountains.

An ear-set/mic would be the best, however, I always tear the cord loose ...

The phone is always on the console in the car ... when I am home/office,
it forwards calls to the internet phone.

I never claimed I could limit my risks to an absolute zero ... only that
prudent men would worry about this subject--perhaps even enough to take
precautions, which they are capable of.

In summary, if I wish to heat a chicken leg, a burner on the stove is
best (or microwave grin.) However, I DO believe I could accomplish
the same thing with my cigarette lighter, it would just take longer.
