    You need ionizing radiation like UV rays or shorter wavelengths to cause cancer. Phone radios can’t generate UV rays, and that’s not an engineering/software thing, that’s Actual Physics. Furthermore, harmful ionizing radiation caused by photons would cause distinctive sunburn injuries. Also wouldn’t penetrate clothing unless it was up into x-ray radiation and you need specialized machines to do that, phones simply don’t have the power needed.

    Also, cancer from radiation isn’t an instant thing, it requires years and years of compounding cell replication errors to eventually stumble into the right combination of mutations. We’re talking years to decades from initial exposure to cancer, and it’s not even 100% likely to kill you.

    If the CIA wanted you dead they’d just shoot you or cut your brake lines or something similarly quick and easy.

    • ^this OP. Can confirm, I have a background in physics, electrical engineering, and telecommunications. Flatly, it’s not possible.

      But if they want to listen to your phone calls and read your emails, yes they can. That comes down to logistics, there aren’t enough people who have access to these systems to keep close tabs on every shit poster. Plus they need a warrant if you’re a US citizen.

        ^OP, trans Karen is lying to you. She’s a Fed, every cell phone created after 2006 is manufactured with a CIA cancer ray chip. ESPECIALLY the ones from China. This is well known and I have personally seen the documents that prove it.

        Throw your phone in the ocean and communicate via carrier pigeon ONLY. You’ve been warned.

          hi schillmeaker, it’s me, the assistant manager from the CIA department you work in, i’m just kindly letting you know that you’re off the clock and not getting paid overtime for this. Love the enthusiasm though!

            Hi Clippy, I’m agent Smith from the FBI and we’re currently subcontracting SchillMenaker. I’m a bit surprised you haven’t been looped in, but our boys in accounting are taking care of the overtime, don’t worry! Let’s circle back to this at the end of this month and hope the ducks have gotten their bread o7

            I’ve switched to my secure analog channel of hexbear DOT net to tell you how much your approval means to me. Like most of our agents, I’m a bipolar manic/schizophrenic on the visible light spectrum and I often suffer from Havana-Impostor syndrome. I was told this job was of vital importance to national security but every day I spend among these tankies I can feel my sense of self slowly slipping away. I looked at the picture of my family that I keep on my desk to try and draw some kind of strength to keep going and I realized that the picture of my family was gone, and in its place was a pig with poop on its balls. How long has that been there? Days? Years? Time is losing all meaning and I am genuinely questioning whether I actually exist at this point.

            Anyway, it’s a good thing this line is secure because if the scumbags here knew how emotionally and psychologically devastating it is for our division to be here it would surely undermine our operational effectiveness.

        • Yeah, there’s violations. Some dick heads did this at NSA a number of years back, then interviewed on 60 minutes or something. Like, bro, you’re saying the NSA did it (which they can), but you’re the one who literally copied personal phone conversations just for funzies, nobody ordered you to! That shit was wild.

          But if there’s any charges brought before a court without that warrant, the case gets thrown out. So in short, they’ll need to disappear you if they want to directly do anything to you. So, chances are, you’re not doing something that merits that much time and effort. And if you are, you should know better than to use a registered phone.

      Always remember that. If they want to dead you will eventually just double tap yourself in the back of the head
