I will admit I've had my share of fun taking playful jabs at people who walk around with Bluetooth headsets on -- like, do they think they're the CIA or something? But with more states enacting laws prohibiting hands-on cell phone use in cars (where so many of us multitasking parents catch up on calls), a wireless headset is a smart purchase.
