Very informative post!
One comment, the magnet for magsafe power supplies is actually in the laptop, not the plug.
Have you heard about people implanting a tiny magnet in their pinky finger? I think they've been mentioned on HN before... could give you insight about magnetic fields around you (assuming it was weak enough not to be a cause for concern itself).
EDIT: past story on the implants.

- ctdonath 13y agoGlad to know that magnet isn't where I thought it is. Yeah, I've heard of the magnetic finger modification. I promptly was concerned about it, not quite sure why but favor caution; sure wouldn't want one given the possible consequences. Since earbud magnets are enough to warrant concern, I'll avoid what is likely more powerful. Woolrich has a line of shirts I want which feature magnetic "button". Can't convince myself they wouldn't be a problem.
