Where's the Government to Protect Me...

...from other people's cell-phone waves?

I demand that the state attorneys general collectively sue Big Cell Phone for at least half a trillion dollars (adjusted for inflation) in what's sure to be a landmark case. And that, to combat second-hand phone radiation, bars and restaurants immediately ban all mobile phone use. And of course, cell phone taxes must go up and up until all users drop their dangerous, anti-social habit.

After all:

Mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos, a study by an award-winning cancer expert has concluded. He says people should avoid using them wherever possible and that governments and the mobile phone industry must take "immediate steps" to reduce exposure to their radiation. The study, by Dr Vini Khurana, is the most devastating indictment yet published of the health risks.

Since when does being a libertarian mean I'm supposed to give up all concerns about my health and the health of others? If cell phone radiation really is a danger (and I'm not sure, but I suspect it isn't, but this latest study makes me think), then it should be banned, no less than secondhand smoke. You are free to hold a dangerous radiation up to your head if you want -- that gives you no right to injure others.
