This is the first time I've heard about the possibility of certifications for RFID technology.

Study: Cell phones scramble DNA | Tech News on ZDNet
Study: Cell phones scramble DNA | Tech News on ZDNet: "Radio waves from mobile phones harm body cells and damage DNA in laboratory conditions, according to a new study majority-funded by the European Union, researchers said on Monday. "
Steve's Commentary
I've read articles of a similar vain for as long as I've had a cell phone, and each one reinforces my impression that cell phones need to be used judiciously. We haven't had the technology long enough to study the long term effects of cell phone radiation, but there is certainly reason for further study. I just heard a specific story of a person who developed a rare form of brain cancer after excessively using a cell phone over a period of 2 to 3 years. This happened to have taken place in the early 90s, when networks were analog, but there is still reason for concern today. There is no indesputable proof that it this person's cancer was caused by his cell phone, but he was a healthy guy in his 30s and the tumor happened to form on the same side of his head where he used his phone. I'm not making any claims, but I am saying that I plan on being a little more concsious of my airtime and use of a headset.
