[ RadSafe ] COMPUTER RADIATION SCARE

[ReuvenGmail]

How can a "Computer Monitor" emit "Radiation???"
Was is shipped with its power supply?
Was the power supply ON?
Was it an LCD or the good-old CRT tube type?

All in all, I am getting worried of the degree of infantility of our 
"security" sunk into,
to say nothing about ABC Network and the general public. Halleluiah!
