School Uniform To Block Cell Phone Emissions
Foehg writes "ForeignPolicy.com reports, 'A Belarusian textile company has developed a special school uniform that protects kids from electromagnetic radiation emanating from their cellphones. The uniform features a dedicated pocket that can store the phone and make it safe for those who wear it.'" Now someone has to create an oven mitt that can protect you from the harmful radiation given off by your microwave oven.
Is it me, or is the scientific knowledge of these school officials even worse than the slashdot crowd?
Who would win this election: Andrew Weiner vs Andrew Weiner's weiner.
A faraday cage in a pocket; to block cell phone signals from reaching the phone? The phones will just crank their output power to the max in a selfless attempt to communicate, and in turn the battery will probably be dead by lunchtime. It's almost as if cellphones need some sort of onboard switch that allows you to selectively decide when it's ON or OFF... No, that's probably too futuristic for most people to comprehend anyway.
Don't act so surprised. I live in Cleveland, and some elementary schools have flippin day cares.... for the STUDENTS!
This protects students from radiation that cell phones emit, they do NOT block calls, text messages, etc.
So it blocks the radiation, but it does not block the radiation?
Sounds like a great investment, IMO!
