Are the Cobra's really that bad? Is the owner of a leaky detector being bathed in constant radiation a risk? Sounds like a constant chest xray to me.

A signal processing scheme that cause interference. Older Cobra detectors (of which many were sold) when they "parked." caused falses on other detectors. It's also a function of their LO scheme and the resulting mathematics.
I think it's also a question of the signal processing of the detector that alerts as well. Other detectors with more sophisticated designs, would likely not alert. While Whistler's have good range, compared to other manufacturers, I believe their signal processing is not as sophisticated. I have been trying to nudge Whistler to step up their game, especially when new players (like Attawave-ie; Radenso and Uniden brands) have improved considerably over the recent years.
