Cell Phones don't pop popcorn afterall.

Thats kinda messed up. I wonder what the deeper adverse affects from such RF is.

[drockilles]

Have no idea, can't be anything good, I've been exposed to more RF than I'd like. Sure I'll find out down the road what the affects are. Heard lots of dudes in my job always end up producing girls for kids. I just hope I don't lose my ability to fly.

So, does it actually kill the birds, or is it like a paralysis that ends up killing them because they drown or are eaten, because they are incapacitated?

Yeah, I hear ya on the RF exposure, I've been exposed to a lot as well, and a lot of chemicals and radiation used in the pharmaceutical industry.

So, does it actually kill the birds,

Yes. This giant microwave oven, without the oven part.
They get cooked mid-air. (If they are close enough)

The SPY-1D radar is part of the Aegis weapons system used on destroyers.
