Where are you from, Mars? If you have to find things to worry, you should be worried about the cell phone you carry everyday.

timn · 07-05-2007, 07:54 PM

It's RF, in case you wanted to know, 315mhz

Exactly. Considering what else people are exposed to everyday, a frickin' FOB would be the last on the list. Some people, I swear

Oh great, now he's going to be worrying about the cell phone too.

To the OP: If you make a hat out of aluminum foil, and wear it while you are carrying your cell phone or CA fob, it will block the harmful radiation.

aluminum foil hats only block harmful radiation to the brain

I think the OP was concerned about harmful radiation to something else

Even better: Aluminum shorts. Then he can wear them with no one knowing.

I wish I had a CA keyfob in my pocket when I was young, less sperm to worry about, no worries about little Johnnies running around everywhere.

johnc_22 · 07-05-2007, 08:24 PM

If you wore a pacemaker I suppose it could be an issue but not sure.

Couch · 07-05-2007, 08:26 PM

Just wear a condom all day. That way you're protected from the fob and std's.

...................maybe.....

BMW had a secret deal with Pfizer when designing the CA hardware (or is it now software?).
