I only hope they introduce "No Wifi" carriages, what with all the associated dangers of microwave radiation

As far as I'm aware there aren't any.

science says you're fine. double blind studies say you are imagining it.

There are no scientific papers that show that microwave radiation is safe.
There is a wealth of scientific research that shows that microwave radiation produced by wifi, cell phones, base stations and dekt phones causes DNA damage, changes to cell structure, changes to the composition of blood and a weakening of the immune system.
It's been know for years of the cancer clusters around phone masts, maybe the revenue/jobs associated with the telecommunications industry stops this information becoming too mainstream, that and the outright lies peddled by our governments and corporations.
I hope this doesn't sound too much like a rant, but there has been more research done in this area than there ever was between the link of cigarettes and cancer.

I just want to be able to choose whether or not to be directly exposed to the EMFs.
I wouldn't stay in a hotel with constant wifi exposure, i'll target cafes that don't provide wifi too. I recognize that i am a part of a very small minority, at the moment, but from what i understand the potential dangers are severe.

We could be pasting links to scientific research all afternoon, both stating the case for and against the safety of wifi, or more specifically, EMFs.
I guess i have made up my mind, through shifting through some of this research and direct experience with friends developing heart problems, brain tumors, testicular cancer, etc, all of which could be connected to the use of mobiles,wifi and dekt phones.
These sites in the UK are good, of course the Germans are way ahead of the game though which is where a lot of the research is being done.

Or they could all just be in that persons dna anyway, I hope you live in a house with no electrics and dont use a microwave oven, I hope you dont ever sit in traffic and breath in all those nasty exhaust fumes, I really hope all you do when you go to Amsterdam is eat the marijuana as you know smoking is bad? I hope you dont drink any alcohol or have any unprotected sex as well, I could go on but I can't be bothered.
Edit: In 1987 (before mobile phones, wifi and the like) my 7 year old niece died of a brain tumour, sad yes but I'm of the opinion it was in her and would of killed her at some point whatever the circumstances.

LMAO
Oh well we are all going to die some way, hopefully with a fat dirty spliff on, mobile to my ear, wifi on and my spare mobile in my trouser (US pants) pocket.
Oh and my dinner in the microwave
Happy days

No way, this is the third microwave i have owned in 7 years. I will outlive this ping and the next 20 to come.
