		<description><![CDATA[You hurt my head. 

Microwave ovens work at 2.45Ghz, a harmonic of the resonance of water (2.4Mhz), which is how food gets hot. 5.8Ghz CAN also work, but power generation enough to &quot;cook&quot; is very very expensive. However, you can focus that power into a beam (directional antenna) and yes, i&#039;ve had RF burns from 600mW of RF power going into a 30dBi high gain, high focus antenna (EIRP of around 600w). Now, most people do NOT have 30dBi antennas laying around (at 5.8Ghz that&#039;d be about 3 foot around) and they sure don&#039;t have that strapped to their heads, nor does the typical cell phone have 600mW of power in it&#039;s wifi radio. It&#039;s more like 30-70mW with a 2dBi &quot;patch&quot; antenna in the phone. It&#039;d take a LOT of phones, with a massive combining system (forget losses) to even come close to the power used in a typical microwave oven. Your idea is very wrong in that it&#039;s an additive or cumulative math... far from it. Free space and non-focused power does nothing, even in quantity of thousands. Add some humidity into the mix and it really goes nowhere. 

What it DOES do is &quot;jam&quot; or interfere with each other causing all the issues.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is the difference between a one kilo-watt microwave and a hundred 10-watt cell phones?  Range.  
Once they get so crowded into a small space, they will slowly begin to cook the people.  Five Ghz is going to excite molecules really hot even a low power levels.
So, when you get a subway car full of people with cell phones, you are concentrating a lot of small low power cell phone five Ghz microwave transmitters in a small space like a... wait for it... microwave oven!]]></description>
