Default Now you be very careful and afeared of that new smart meter;!

Brian Gaff submitted this idea :
To be honest if you were daft enough to stand in line with a radar scanner
then I'd expect issues, but in this case... really? if it puts out that much
power then think of the cost to the suppliers of all that electricity they
would be using in every house?


I don't believe there is a problem from the RF, but the RF and power
used is a very short and intermitant pulse of energy and energy used.
Remember, the gas meter uses a tiny battery to power the transmission
and that has to last for many years.
