A group called the Professional Association of Teachers worries that WiFi might be hurting the children. These are people who really should know better than to help these half-baked health scares take wing. See if you can guess which country this lot hails from.

Speaking at the conference, in Harrogate, PAT general secretary, Philip Parkin, said the issue of wi-fi systems prompted heated debate, with some scientists expressing concern and others convinced of its safety. Mr Parkin said: "There is a view out there that you have no right to express concerns on such issues and that if you do, you are scaremongering or promoting so-called bad science."

Is pointing out scaremongering and bad science really equivalent to saying people "have no right to express concerns?" Interesting claim.
