Notice that Scout is doing just that. He has a meter.
He is first collecting facts - the numbers.

I placed the meter on my knee while driving home today. My knee actually
leans against the door speaker. The meter read as high as 30 milligauss (I
like my music rather loud).
At work, I placed the meter close to the transformer in my room, and read
over 200 milligauss. Naturally, that number dropped quickly as I backed
away. At my desk, I'm exposed to about 2-3 mG.
Don't know if any of these is dangerous, but I do like having a new toy to
play with. It'll be a while before I can get out to the property in
question.
