This morning, when I was reading the Federal Register (like I do), this seemingly innocuous little item jumped out at me.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a public workshop entitled ``Thermal Aspects of Radio Frequency Exposure.'' The purpose of the workshop is to discuss thermal sensitivity and heating effects of different tissues.

The workshop is in January at a hotel in Maryland. Maybe Santa Fe's "electro-sensitive" wi-fi fighters will charter a bus and send a delegation?
