I don't think you can say mobile telecoms is 'safe' because X million users
don't have cancer, Just as you can't say they are 'dangerous' because it's
they blast out microwaves...

I'm not pro or anti the argument, but I've had a mobile clipped to my hip
since '91. The upshot is that these things haven't been around long enough
to understand the long term effects, one way or the other. Only time will
really tell...
