The military version is a 45-pound, dish-shaped device that can direct a high-pitched, piercing tone with a tight beam. Neither the LRAD's operators or others in the immediate area are affected.
Neato. I want one. I bet it would work great to clear my neighborhood park of teenagers after dark.

I'm thinking a 50 cal sniper rile, would have been more effective.

Smells fishy. They just happen to have a new weapon on board a cruise liner??

"It can be as loud as about 150 decibels"Going from a complete vacuum to double atmospheric pressure is well below 150 decibels. The only known sound louder than this is measured in the exhaust of a shuttle launch where the pressure is higher than atmospheric. I wonder what other facts in the article are wrong?

I would like one to clear the deer and the racoons out of my back yard. Then to blast the dogs in the neighborhood who bark for the fun of it.

I guess that sonic beam would be ok to use while the real weapons are being passed out to the crew.

I want to have one of these things installed on top of my car, and I'm going to cruise down the street and blast "My Humps", by the Black eyed Peas.

So, ummm, now that the terrorists are deaf the, umm, sonic weapon will no longer work?
The best and only truly effective acoustic weapon is the concusive over-pressure of the shock wave caused by the detonation of high-energy explosives in the happy laps of islamovirginseekers.

This might be whole new spectator sport: Cruises that let you open fire on terrorists/pirates. If you can shoot skeet from a cruise ship, why not terrorists/pirates? The possibilities are endless.

They could have played any music real loud. Islam does not allow music.

Word will spread quickly, and the next time they pull this the terrorists will have exotic earplugs.
The cruise lines would do well to start packing something very, very nasty with them for the ride...

Prediction ... the next time this happens the filthy Muslim speed boats will be blown out of the water by American aircraft. It should have happened already. These 'pirates' have been operating off the coast of Somalia for several years now.
