Expect a glib email from Steve Jobs, replying to a rabid fanboy, saying...

"Well buy a Bumper then. Educate yourself about radio signals dude.

Steve.

Sent from my iPhone4 with a Bumper."

... any minute now.
Perhaps more importantly, your hand shorts the two antennas together. I mean, your hand probably has a resistance of several megaohms, which starts approximating an open circuit. However, the dynamics might be different at those frequencies—I hated transmission lines / antennas.

Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter.
