Some stories just take your breath away.

What kind of f***ing people do we vote for that allow developements like these. Bring on the revolution....the trouble is that's just what these neanderthals want so that they can microwave us.

Official Touts Nonlethal Weapons for Use

Washington - Nonlethal weapons such as high-power microwave
devices should be used on American citizens in crowd-control
situations before they are used on the battlefield, the Air Force
secretary said Tuesday.


Domestic use would make it easier to avoid questions in the
international community over any possible safety concerns, said
Secretary Michael Wynne.


"If we're not willing to use it here against our fellow citizens,
then we should not be willing to use it in a wartime situation," said
Wynne. "(Because) if I hit somebody with a nonlethal weapon and they
claim that it injured them in a way that was not intended, I think
that I would be vilified in the world press."


The Air Force has funded research into nonlethal weapons, but he
said the service isn't likely to spend more money on development
until injury issues are reviewed by medical experts and resolved.


Nonlethal weapons generally can weaken people if they are hit
with the beam. Some of the weapons can emit short, intense energy
pulses that also can be effective in disabling some electronic
devices.

Cryptogon Reader Suggestion:


I can see it now, the flower children cowering behind tinfoil peace signs. I sometimes wonder what the protest industrial complex would do without the military industrial complex.


The funny thing about directed energy is that it can be directed back. If you make the signs out of folded up cardboard square boxes lined with tinfoil, then unfold them and direct the open side at the microwave source, you create a retroreflector which sends the energy back at them.
