If you think cell phones are bad, you do NOT want to ride in buses or trains where cell phones are used. They act like Faraday cages and keep all the harmful radiation self contained. It's like sitting in a small room full of smokers. You don't need to smoke to get the negative health affects.

Thanks for posting. The article references it but here's the link to the study: https://www.thenation.com/article/how-big-wireless-made-us-think-that-cell-phones-are-safe-a-special-investigation/

I was under the impression that a Faraday cage interferes with waves by absorbing them, not by reflecting them. So, if you use a phone inside a Faraday cage, it's true that the waves won't get out of the cage but that's not because they're being reflected back into the cage, it's because the metal of the cage is absorbing them.

Reflectors instead of faraday cage?

Very good point, I hadn't thought about that. Thank you.
