What gets me is that these people still walk out in the sun.

We are talking about orders of magnitude weaker radiation than what you get dosed with every time you go outside. But further, sunlight does contain ionizing radiation (hello UV).

I can’t believe people are still flying on commercial airliners; over the poles no less!

Flight attendants indeed have a significantly increased cancer risk which is most likely due to radiation exposure: https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-...

Yes, commercial airliners do pose a real health risk. There’s an understood mechanism and impact. I know I was joking about it, but only to highlight how crazy it is to push personal electronics use down for radiation health concerns, while airplanes continue to operate with no changes.
