|From: Harold Wong <ihnp4!ames!elroy!hgw%MATH.UCLA.EDU> | |Why are these things so dangerous to people with pacemakers? | | |Harold Wong (213) 825-9040 |UCLA-Mathnet; 3915F MSA; 405 Hilgard Ave.; Los Angeles, CA 90024-1555 |ARPA: hgw@math.ucla.edu BITNET: hgw%math.ucla.edu@INTERBIT | I have not heard that the detectors used by stores and libraries were harmful to people with pacemakers. But apon thinking about it, there are pacemakers that have (radio) transponders built-in. These pacemakers can deliver carido-graph info and receive re-programming data for pace-making. There could be some kind of "inference" between these units. Ted G.
