But it is a horrible device nonetheless, and you are forced to wonder what the world has come to when human ingenuity is pressed into service to make a thing like this.

I wonder how he would feel if it actually did melt someone down to an oily spot on the pavement?

[Rummyfan]

As a Raytheon employee, I gotta say KEWL!!!!

[ClearCase_guy]

Crowd control?

How about using lethal weapons?

Liberal response: No Way! Remember Kent State!

Okay, how about non-lethal weapons?

Liberal Response: No Way! Those things hurt!

[driftdiver]

So much for water boarding. Seems useful but how long until these are deployed to our local police departments.

[Ancient Drive]

this has got to be the most humane weapon ever!

God bless America!

Could you use it for a teenager with a dirty room?

;^)

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

I need one! No more soliciters. No more neighbor’s dogs poopin’ in my yard.
“Turn that boomin’ radio down!”
‘No way!”

These guys are just renaming Active Denial.

Was that a Raython employee on the plain down to Club Gitmo? No? ‘course not. Probably a cable installer to put in cable television for the terrorists.

I pull my hand away sharpish. My finger is throbbing, but seems undamaged.

Sharpish? Is that like very ouchful? It feels so burnly?

Yeah, it's not like the good old days when you could get chopped with an axe.

And, perhaps most worryingly, what if deployment of Silent Guardian causes mass panic, leaving some people unable to flee in the melee? Will they just be stuck there roasting?

Take that hippy! I want my anti-hippy gun too!

This machine has the ability to inflict limitless, unbearable pain.

Devices such as this will become the preferred instruments of torture in countries like China and Iran. Monumental pain without physical damage. I do not want to see this thing ever put into use in the US.

“Hello, Raytheon. This is general Smith at Gitmo. We need to cancel the women’s panties orders and get a couple of those new plaasma things you got? OK?”

“Hey, Abdul, come watch this great new TV. Yeah - sit in that chair with the straps. You’ll wanna strap yourself in - the special effects on this one may just blow you away! We can talk aboout bin-Laden a little later ...”

I like it!

Aaarrrr

Set ‘er to fry, me hearties, and full speed ahead.

DOes this have a range of power settings? You know - pain, rare, well done, smoke ‘em?

Raytheon's Mac Jeffery says it is being looked at only by the "North American military and its allies"

Gee, that's funny. I haven't heard of the North American military.

I've heard of the American military, commonly known as the military of the United States...

I've heard of the Canadian military....

And I've heard of the Mexican "military", which is world in-famous for being nothing more than a gang of thugs and criminals who are notable only for the number of their own people that they have killed over the last 5 centuries.

Would that be the military that "doesn't have a human rights abuse record" that Mr. Corp-Droid Jeffreys is referring to?

Guess Mac's happy now that the "North American Military" has a lovely little weapon to use on those pesky Americans who might be interested in stopping the invasion from the South by the Mexican component of his polyglot military.

Appears he kinda let the cat outta the bag with his slip of the tongue...

[DancesWithBolsheviks]

Silent Guardian’s don’t cause pain, people do.

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

They are quick, clean, cheap, easy to use and, most importantly, leave no marks. What would happen if they fell into the hands of unscrupulous nations where torture is not unknown?
