Default Lexus SmartAccess/Keyless Entry - Family Jewels

Question:

Does the "Keys" for Lexus's Keyless Entry put off a constant radio signal (radiation)? Has anybody worried about keeping them in you front pockets and it being to close to, well, lets just say the family jewels?

So I guess you do not carry a Cell phone, you do not use WiFi, have banned all radio, TV and microwave oven from your home. Are you Amish ? :-P

Amish, Please... I would have a two horsepower cart instead of a 245HP GS300.

I do not carry a cell phone in my pocket. I do not carry a Wifi adpater in my pocket either. I have both, but keep them away from well, you know.

I was trying to be funny; In this day and age if radio frequencies are bad for us, then we are completely screwed !

It does give off some kind of signal IIRC, but it's not on your body all the time is it?

Even if it does, how much radiation can a small device produce being powered by a tiny button battery that last for years? If you're worried about that, a cell phone is a great deal worse in comparison.

To keep your jewels safe, you are going to have to wear a tin cup around it to keep out all the radio waves from TV stations, cell phone towers microwave ovens or GPS

It can be beneficial.

It can increase hormonal output, which means extra manliness...

Just thing about it, your jewel can glow in the dark from the radiation.

If you're worry too much about your NUTS, and dont want to carry your key fob in your front pockets. There's an alternative and its very coool. You can always get the smart key card and carry it on your wallet. Check it out from sewell lexus. Groupbuy is still effective.
