be very very afraid next time you protest

[Guest guest]

An 'Active Denial System' weapon that 'fires a 95GHz microwave beam at

rioters to cause heating and intolerable pain in less than five seconds'

is scheduled for service in Iraq in 2006 according to CNET

and the print version of New Scientist. It was recently tested on people

playing the part of rioters at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico where

they asked the subjects to remove glass and contact

lenses to protect their eyes. Hopefully real rioters will get the same

courtesy. Police and the Marines are working on portable versions. Sandia

Labs also has a nice writeup on this system withpictures of smaller

versions of the weapon.

 

 

It seems, that they just aim the sucker,and microwave you just a little...
