Reminds me of the first few years I had a handheld digital cellphone (GSM). There was a theoretical possibility that the (up to 2 W) RF pulses from the phone could trigger the airbags when calling in a car, which would not have been very safe. This possibility was talked up so much that taxi drivers were screaming at me when I used the phone in the car. Of course, I ignored them, but it did reduce sound signal/noise a bit during my phone calls. (Obviously, the airbags were designed to take EMI from all kinds of walkie-talkies that people used in cars and that often had way more than 2 W. But it was a great story that journalists could sell and that “experts” could use to boost their egos by getting media coverage.) Grüße, Carsten
