      It didn’t say that it would make anything radioactive, it said there was a radiation hazard. Radar is in fact radiation, it’s just non-ionizing which means that unless you’re dealing with massive power levels it’s generally safe to be around. If they’re warning of an extreme radiation hazard it’s either not radar, or they’re pumping a ridiculous amount of power into it.

          Yes, microwaves are non-ionizing radiation. I would not suggest sticking your head in your microwave while it’s running though.

            It doesn’t say ionizing either bud. Radar at close up or very high levels can fuckup avionics leading to crashes.

            If it were ionizing they would probably say more because wind in that area isn’t constant direction.

                  Dude, I happen to have a metric shit ton of hours on various flight simulators. If you happen to have another shit ton of money we could manage something.
