Shouldn't it be quite easy to prove? I mean EMF:s can be measured and 
plants can be measured and analyzed?

I've been thinking about if online surveillance and government control 
might not force us back to some kind of fidonet-like architecture, run on 
cellphone modems, lora radios or over ham-radio bridges.

Latency would be huge, but that never stopped me with my 9600 modem, and 
for talking like this, is not a problem. Downloading massive amounts of 
data would be painful though.
