Neurotics Target Wi-Fi

Posted by Dave Blount at June 3, 2007 7:47 AM

The "cell phones are making the bees disappear" scare didn't get much traction because we're too reliant on our cells, so a new one has come along in its place: wireless Internet access exacerbates hypochondria.

Characteristically, Britain's nanny state is pandering to the hysteria. Chief health protection bureauweenie Sir William Stewart has called for a review of the possible health risks involved in wireless Internet service. As a result, schools and families are scrambling to remove Wi-Fi systems.

Alleged victims of wireless technology claim to suffer from vague symptoms like headaches and lethargy. They are voicing screechy concerns about the safety of the children. Enjoy your wireless while you can, before lawsuits make it infeasible, or the government decides to ban it.

If cavemen had been as neurotic as today's moonbattery-riddled society, fire would have been banned from the beginning. Think of the global warming we could have prevented!
