I knew this was where this was headed. Right down the garden path into
the outhouse. There is absolutely nothing normal in a discussion that
starts with the question this one started with.

Be careful. Don't confuse people with facts. The OP started out right on
the edge of the irrational. Fight fire with fire.
Back in my radio days, every three months I had to drive from the
transmitter building to a specific farm, follow the bank of an
irrigation ditch for a couple of hundred yards, leap across the ditch
and wade through mud a few hundred feet. I had one of these "right
measuring devices" with me and I was intent upon obtaining a measurement
while standing on a particular spot specified by the FCC so that I could
jot it down in the station logs. Much more hazardous than the radiation
from the transmitter were the barking farm dogs and the cows along my
path.
I just finished a couple of cell phone calls. It is a bit late in the
day to arrange a brain scan so I have decided not to worry.
The OP reminds me a bit of Jack Paar (or was it Johnny Carson?) who
claimed to have removed all of the food and shelves his from
refrigerator so he could climb inside and verify that the light goes out
when the door is closed.
Somewhere the OP missed the fact that a household stepladder is about
1000 times more dangerous than a microwave oven. The biggest danger from
a microwave oven has got to be the possibility of dropping it on your
foot when you shift it from one place to another.
Of course, when the OP lapsed into an Orwellian state, all reason was
gone. He must go into the wilderness far from the cell towers disguised
as trees and become a hermit.
