| #9 The F-14. Another magical plane, like the A-10. Any problem anyone has from being around it has to come from somewhere else. Has. To. |

| #8 How much of the SCIF is constant exposure to airborne chemicals? Comparison to nuke boat crews, particularly attack subs that are "long, black and never come back", would be interesting. If we are planning on Missions To Mars it is something worth studying. |

| #7 High incidents for Leyden jar SCIF moles as well. |

| #6 Well please stop and consider this: the EA-6B ( RIP) Prowler had a gold coated canopy to prevent entrance of radar waves, as does the various versions of the F/A -18. But to my knowledge there is nothing between the radar transmitter (usually in the nose)and the cockpit; so there may be something to this. High flying transports and commercial jets' crews are not saying this ame thing so it looks like a rather small sub set. As to the OBOGS or OBIGGS; these operate via a molecular sieve and do not have any sort of microwaving technology.... |

| #5 I've got an extra sarc tag here somewhere if you need it, Besoeker. |

| #3 Fighter pilots are a different sub-species and I would not be surprised if there were multiple lifestyle elements (besides radar exposure) that could increase cancer risk. |

| #2 Any different demographically than flight attendants and crew flying constantly at high altitude (with less protection from sustained solar radiation)? |
