BBC Kicked out of School Over Wi-Fi Scaremongering

Posted by Zonk on from the i-thought-the-beeb-was-one-of-the-good-guys dept.

h2g2bob writes "Ben Goldacre reports that the BBC Panorama team, while scaremongering over the dangers of Wi-fi, were told to leave the school because even the kids could see it was dumb: 'When the children saw Alasdair's Powerwatch website, and the excellent picture of the insulating mesh beekeeper hat that he sells (£27) to protect your head from excess microwave exposure, they were astonished and outraged. Panorama were calmly expelled from the school.' Should we be pleased that the kids can out-think TV producers?"

    Should we be pleased that the kids can out-think TV producers?" The right question is: "Should we be surprised that the kids can out-think TV producers?"

    I would be too. £27 for beekeeper hat when tinfoil one is free. Damn scammers.
