	A good Aprill Fool's story. In reality Wi-Fi operating at 2.5 GHz can be interfered with by microwave ovens as witnessed during beta testing at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Center. They were forced to use the 5 GHz band as a result. Nothing to joke about !...

But, sad to say, the US congress did so many absolutely bone headed idiocy for quite some time, that I was unable to dismiss it out of hand. They have proven to be the creators of almost any mayhem, if you take the worldwide repercussion of the alcohol fuel laws in you view.
