I first heard of a weapon like this many years ago.
It was speculated then, that's how Adlai Stevenson -- former Illinois governor, Dem presidential candidate and UN ambassador under Presidents Kennedy & Johnson -- had died so suddenly in 1965, while walking in London.
Dear broJoek,
It was relayed to me, later in time, by folks I ran into now and then, while in Thailand, that Ian Fleming was not wrong.
