Now Hear This

From Overlawyered:

A group in Santa Fe says the city is discriminating against them because they say that they’re allergic to the wireless Internet signal. And now they want Wi-Fi banned from public buildings. … [Arthur] Firstenberg and dozens of other electro-sensitive people in Santa Fe claim that putting up Wi-Fi in public places is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The city attorney is now checking to see if putting up Wi-Fi could be considered discrimination. But City Councilor Ron Trujillo says the areas are already saturated with wireless Internet. (Gadi Schwartz, KOB, May 20).

And I suppose those people who pick up radio signals in their head could bring an FCC complaint. Maybe psychics could sue the dead under stalking statutes and make their estates pay damages. Can schizophrenics collect twice?
