Answer:
Attraction to Cell-Phones

Cell phones (and cordless portable phones) used indoors during electrical storms are perfectly safe because there is no wire through which the electric discharge could travel. (The belief that lightning can follow the radio waves is completely unfounded.) There is also a popular belief that cell phones pose a risk when used outside because lightning is attracted to metal, handsets generally contain insignificant amounts of metal.
