[ NNSquad ] Cell phone industry fighting warning labels
Cell phone industry fighting warning labels http://bit.ly/9Eqn0U (Washington Post) At this stage of the science, this has the smell of the laws against hands-free cell phone use, enacted despite clear evidence that hands-free and hand-held use carry the same risks. In this case, it (a) isn't clear that the risk actually exists and especially (b) it's certainly unclear that the labels would mean much of anything. Even if there are physical effects overall from cell phone use, perhaps the difference between the phone with the "worst" rating and the "highest" rating isn't significant at all. And most likely slight variations in where the phones are placed or how they are held would swamp those measured differentials anyway. The S.F. law -- at this point -- appears to be all pandering and zero science. --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
