That's true, Ron -- you don't know about it, so you ought not comment on it.
Electromagnetic transmissions can alter the pacemaker pulse waveform (hence the warnings about pacemakers and microwave ovens). While there doesn't seem to be any readily available authoritative information about the effects of MMW transmission on cardiac devices, just personally, I wouldn't be anxious to expose such a device to even a negligible risk.
