Can I Has a New Bogeyman?

Trolling around tonight I found an article on a town rejecting a distributed Wifi system based on fears of  health risks from the RF. 

WiFi Fear Kills Free Local WiFi Plan -   http://techdirt.com/articles/20080325/002149639.shtml

The article provides only  a snarky commentary with no background information nor links to an official news story, I was able to find a number of sites corroborating the story but only one had any real credentials - The San Franscisco Chronicle:  http://news.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/03/24/state/n100739D20.DTL

I had a bit to say about this type of hysteria back in  October 07. http://tuckerstuesday.typepad.com/tuckerstuesday/2007/10/index.html

The communities concern did not center on a relatively high power Muni-fi system but a small distributed access point setup.  The system proposed would have less radiated power then I am exposed to daily at my work -(where we have no less then 10 wifi system running  constantly).

Why do humans need to find new bogeymen whose threat to humanity becomes more ominous with each iteration ?  This is a question  which Micheal Shermer could examine far more eloquently then I;  the reality is no medical proof has been offered up after nearly 25+ years of medical studies on High Power lines, proximity to transmission towers, etc.  The unstated message here is that not only will the Internet rot your brain, it will cause a tumor as well.
