[Greenbuilding] EMFs--wi-fi & human health--off topic

[Ben Pratt]

Off topic---
Recently, Milwaukee put GPS systems in all police vehicles to track 
where they were at all times. This was intended to help with response 
times, etc. However, many patrol officers began putting aluminum foil 
over the antenna so that they couldn't be tracked. They didn't want 
headquarters to be know where they are at all times.
