#1 One really has to wonder why Amnesty and others fight so hard against us capturing these people instead of turning them into a fine red mist. Perhaps we need to look more closely at their funding and who belongs?

#2 A kitchen knife "could end up being used for torture" too. Are pain researchers concerned?

#3 They should have called it The Seattle Project. The WTO meetings ought to be really interesting now...

#4 Pain researchers told today’s New Scientist magazine that the technology could end up being used for torture and that it was unethical.

The same could be said about tazers and stun guns. Any of these so-called "pain researchers" think those devices are unethical too?

#5 But, killing thousands of innocent people is ethical. /sarcasm off

#6 Remember, folks -- you can build a laser to vaporize a person, but not to blind them. That would be against the laws of war.

The same could be said about tazers and stun guns. Any of these so-called "pain researchers" think those devices are unethical too?

Of course they do. Any weapon in the hands of an American is unethical to them.

#7 Andrew Rice, a consultant in pain medicine in London, said: "I am deeply concerned about the ethical aspects of this research."

"Would you prefer another target? A military target? Then name the system!"

This technological marvel is insignificant compared to the power of the force

#12 Fine, causing pain is unethical. From now on all crowd control will be conducted via .50 cal machineguns.

#13 Doesn't 'evil Kirk' look like 'Gay Kirk'? The Army has been working on non-lehtal weapons for crowds for a very long time. I think it's time an operation test. Next time there is a DNC meeting light up that puppy and see how many get sick.

The link you posted also belongs as a comment on the How to Interrogate Terrorists article elsewhere today on RANTBURG!

#18 Of course there is already a similar weapon that is currently being fielded in Iraq by the Marines. It uses microwaves instead of lasers and has a shorter range, but the effects are similar. Bwahaha

#19 ...investigate how much pain can be induced in individuals hit by electromagnetic pulses created by lasers without killing them.

ooooooo! ooooooo! Can I volunteer for that experiment? Can I bring my own leather 'n' whips 'n' chains 'n' stuff to enhance the burn?

#20 No, you may not, Zpaz. And anyone who dares to say that I'm torturing him with that refusal (as Drewie in London may be considering suggesting) will be soundly beaten.

#21 Maybe we are marketing the device incorrectly and are causing the LLL to jump to conclusions. This little plasmizer is a medical device designed to explore the sensitivity of nerves and to determine individual sensing thresholds.
