One thing that annoys me when fear-mongering is made about radiation (ignoring that they confuse atomic radiation with photonic radiation) is a lack of magnitude. Cell phones can pump out some serious power if there's a poor path back to the tower (2-3 watts). I don't want that right next to my head, if I can help it, and even an inch can reduce the absorbed power significantly due to the inverse-square characteristic. WiFi on the other hand is much lower power and not right next to your head, so even if cell phones are found to be a significant hazard, WiFi is not even on the same page.
