This is fine if you want to catch someone alive--like a high-level terrorist planner--so that you can "extract" intelligence information. But it's absurd to suggest you would use this against any common soldier or terrorist (particularly a suicide bomber). For these low-level combatants, bullets, genades, or bombs are by far the best weapons.

What was it Powell said during the Gulf War? "All the tools in the toolbox."

Use this thing like sonic teargas gas and hose suspected caves with it. When the bad guys come out, Barrett away...

Not necessarily. Remember the "Somali foxhole", where Somali gunmen would shot from between the legs of a woman? Non lethal force would be excellent for situations like that. Ditto the rock throwing little vermin in the Palestinian entifada. Should also come in handy for riot control in New York when the left wing scum come out to disrupt the Republican convention. Deafening them is also sweet as they would not be able to appreciate all music of their favorite recording artists. Lots of benefits here....
