#1 emit a piercing tone so excruciating to humans, its boosters say, that it causes crowds to disperse, clears buildings and repels intruders. "[For] most people, even if they plug their ears, [the device] will produce the equivalent of an instant migraine

#2 But the U.S. is making a huge mistake by trying to quietly deploy a new pain-inducing weapon without first airing all of the legal..

Oh yeah, it's all about law enforcement still. Well, the alternative is to shoot people. So what's the sensible choice?

Just in case, of course, you would also have shitload of hardballers armed to the eyeballs, in case it requires AA batteries and you brought AAA's. Sheesh.
