Is Putting a Cell Phone in Your Pocket a Health Risk?

snip

We are a nation grown numb to the seemingly endless fine print that accompanies our purchases. But every now and then a product is sold with a warning that should command attention. Consider the little-noticed bit of legalese that comes in the safety manual for Apple's iPhone 4: "When using iPhone near your body for voice calls or for wireless data transmission over a cellular network, keep iPhone at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) away from the body, and only use carrying cases, belt clips, or holders that do not have metal parts and that maintain at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) separation between iPhone and the body," the warning reads.

Keeping your phone in your pocket, especially while driving could at least keep you from texting or talking while driving, possibly preventing a car crash. A car crash is likely more harmful than some RF waves to your nether-region. smirk
