Why tell the world what you can do, should have used it over N.Korean nuclear reactors. Boeing: CHAMP - Lights Out
Don't tell Globe or Smart about this! The next time the crappy internet goes on vacation they will blame an electromagnetic pulse or microwaves from the USA. I have already had a flight cancelled due to "solar activity over Dumaguete". That sounded pretty good. Never knew we were that special.
The highway patrol in Arizona shut down a lot of elderly peoples pacemakers because the didn't know how to operate their radar guns. They just set them to maximum output and let fly. I believe they quickly changed to a different system. This was a few years ago.
Pacemakers - Arizona Heart Rhythm Center I'd think if someone's pacemaker stopped working from a speed gun they had bought a very crappy pacemaker off the black market that had no shielding to speak of (and they had to have had the speed gun inches away from their chest). Most speed guns use the same technology used in automatic doors you find all over the US. You just aren't going to get enough power out of a civilian radar system that is operated off a battery/vehicle to do any damage to a pacemaker. I've read several individual accounts claiming different on the internet but they are quickly shot down and they read like those people who claim that wifi and cellular frequencies make them sick (even though they are flooded with those frequencies almost everywhere they go and studies have shown it is all in their heads).
I think there may be something to this though Funny thing, when television went from analog to digital in the Dallas Ft. Worth area they immediately shut it back down again because it had disabled ICU medical equipment in a couple of counties. This was not internet bunk, it was channel 5 news. I know, those nasty old weak waves of energy can't hurt anything.
The "news" can be just as full of it as the internet. They like to report on stuff as it comes out, usually from very unreliable sources, and then never post an update once the real culprit has been discovered....which would make them look like the complete fools they are for reporting it as they did in the first place. There is nothing that makes TV more credible than the internet.
