Excuse me?

Someone said mm-waves cannot go through skin. I mentioned that the scientific consensus is that babies' skin is thin enough that mm-waves penetrate the dermis. I was absolutely not starting a "think of the children".

The established consensus is that mm-waves do penetrante the dermis of babies. Even recent research can agree on that. Here's one recent source.

Its hard to take your arguments seriously when you link to a paper on military research on a weapon that "can heat the skin to a temperature of 130F" and then compare it to cellular RF emissions, which would typically encounter your skin at a power level in the range of 10^-12W (-90dBm). It doesnt matter which layers of skin that does or doesnt penetrate, its just not going to do much of anything.
