Unless they have radically modified their circuitry,  a rash of Radio
Shack detectors on the road will do more to stop people from using
their radar detectors than a ban will.  Radio Shack detectors spew out
so much microwave energy that Whistler and CM have had to incorperate
special filters specifically to avoid false alarms from these menaces.

Even if Radio Shack has cleaned up its act, I would still not buy
their detector.  Any company irresponsible enough to flood the
highways with such garbage is not deserving of my business.
