Not to mention dangerous.

True story:
I was on a phone call at the office a few weeks ago when a HVAC 
contractor working here got a call on his Nextel. My phone call 
instantly got bombarded with a loud buzzing sound which didn't stop 
until the contractor was out of the room, over FIFTY feet away. I've 
worked with radio for years and I'd never seen anything like that.

Imagine what all that RF energy is doing to his brain. I don't think 
I'll be using my mobile phone exclusively any time soon!

Cheers,
