Hi Suresh, I'm not disputing anything you or Tom wrote. The current scientific consensus is that most RF exposures are sage. We agree on that. My point is simply that, as Tom wrote in his citation, the biological effects of RF are still an area of research. And for that reason, it's unfair

My first instinct is to let this be because the level of conspiracy theory nuttiness seems to be very high and the level of knowledge of basic physics seems to be very low, but since this list is archived in a way that lay-people may reference it at some point in the future, I'm going to go ahead

I think the actual risk is the opposite of transmitting signals to damage or sabotage. I have read about many cases of receiving weak signals from things like monitors and wireless keyboards that could be snooped in by receiving and decoding them. I suppose routers and switches could leak
