> Well - it seems extremely unlikely to me that these things actually
radiate any RF (part 15 warnings notwithstanding). The potential problem
will be susceptability.

has an outlet in the bedroom (in my county and probably mosst other
places).

detect HF energy to work. Most you could do is slip some ferrite on for
common mode attenuation (I suppose).
