re: #22 Bear

Wonder about the police radar guns? And now with so many pleasure boats having radar if someone walking along a small boat harbor could be at risk o having the pacemaker zapped. One o my friends is an avid boater and has a pacemaker.

Modern pacemakers are built to withstand at least a million times the occupational limit for radar energy exposure in W/m^2. Hasn’t been a problem for decades. Think about the size of the radar domes they have on cruise ships, now think about the age demographics of the average cruise ship passenger.
