Plasma taser? Shouldn't they just call it the "phaser?"

Set phasers on fricassee...

I used to have a problem keeping the neighbor's dogs out of my yard. Not any more.

Dark cloud. Graphite?

[longtermmemmory]

so if there is a good wind, or a man armed with a fan, the shooter can taser themselves.

They're out there .... out there

Given advances in nanotechnology they should be able in a few years to make an implant
that gives your location to the authorities...reads your thoughts and reports you to the office of Pre-Crime....

The implant could deduct fines from your bank account....freeze your assests...lock you out of your house...garnishee your wages..lock you out of your office...your car..

It could even stop your car ....if you even thought of speeding...and report you to the police...or the car could just take you to the police station by taking control away from you and relinquishing control to the authorities...

A properly coded implant could punish you or reward you by stimulating pain or pleasure centers of the brain...it can mediate hormones or stimulate the heart..erase memories..change personality... etc etc etc..

I heard about something similar a few years back, but it used a carbon-dioxide laser that ionized the air to the target just before an electrical shock was sent down the "wire".

I am sure it will be nicknamed the Phaser

I would love to have one of those. I currently use a regular taser in which you have to touch the victim with the end of the device. It's useful in making waiting lines shorter - but it's tricky not to draw suspicion........

WALMART: "Why did all of those people suddenly begin convulsing in a puddle of their own urine as soon as you walked past them?"

ME: "I dunno. Can we check out now, I'm in a bit of a hurry."
