Default Locating Transponder Antenna on top of the fuselage instead ofunder it.

And yet, how many folks spend a major part of their lives with a radio
transmitter (cell phone) strapped to the side of their head or in their
pocket?

I don't want your balls near my transponder either. :-)

To be fair it's a low average duty factor (1%) so you don't see all that power. But it's enough for some folks to worry about that folks do pay attention. RF exposure to low-power TABS and ADS-B systems for example designed to be close to wetware are a part of regulatory discussions.
