Great advertising tool methinks. Scary :roll:

I hope this is just a "claim" and not a realistic device. If anyone used this device on me, I'm not quite sure what I'd do to them...

Who wants to bet that governments will use it to disperse / intimidate those who wish to protest against their policies?

It's not easy to think of a benign use for this technology.

Ah just imagine the smell of boiled brains...

:roll:


The government is already taking great measures to ensure that people do not rise up and rebel.. See "gun control" and "patriot act". This is just the next step in making sure that they don't even have demonstrations let alone have the means to actually fight the corrupt government.
 
reminds me of a futurama episode where FRY is freaked out because he has a dream that is a like a commercial only to find out from the other characters that it actually is a commercial and that has been going on for a long time.

hmmmmm not to far fetched me thinks.

So those guys wearing tin foil hats were right all along?

History repeats itself; consider all the fun stuff done in the name of national security in the Cold War, particularly the '50s and '60s. The advantage that Joe Public has this time around is the much faster spread of information about what's happening. Knowledge is power and all that.

[not insinuating that the US is unique in this respect; it's hard to find a nation with a clean track record on this front. Some are better at keeping such inconvenient information out of the history books, and often Joe Public doesn't want to know/remember past blemishes]
 
A few years ago, classified documents were made public, 50s-60s era nuclear testing stuff. Part of the really scary stuff described human radiation testing on unknowing subjects. The army set up low level radiation emitters on water towers overlooking a small town in Oregon and secretly recorded the incidences of sickness all in the name of national security..
