Britain on alert for deadly new knife with exploding tip that freezes victims' organs
Senior police officers have been warned to look out for a new knife which can inject a ball of compressed gas into its victim that instantly freezes internal organs.
The 'wasp knife', which can deliver a ball of compressed gas capable of killing its victim at the press of a button, may be heading for Britain, the Metropolitan Police fear.
A needle in the tip of the blade shoots out the frozen ball of gas which instantly balloons to the size of a basketball, freezing organs.
The Metropolitan Police have told colleagues in the West Midlands to be on the lookout for the blade, which is designed to kill sharks and bears.
Police are concerned that the £200 weapon could fall into the wrong hands.
The American-made weapon is sold to hunters and divers and injects the frozen gas when the small handle-mounted trigger is pressed.

The latest in the wave of British knife crime hysteria, look for plastic butter knives to be the only legally available knives soon.

Perhaps they should ban murder?

Plastic butter knives can be easily “whisked through metal detectors” and kill thousands, if not -millions- of the Queen’s Subjects.
Do the english still spell it “Hysteria” or “Histeria” ?

Britain is such a joke.
They are on alert for the knife when they should be on alert for the perps.

And not even plastic butter knives -- they can make a small scratch in the epidermis that could possibly become infected. Or-- if you break them in half, they can deliver quite a nasty poke.
We must ban all danger!

Police are concerned that the £200 weapon could fall into the wrong hands.At 200 lbs., there are very few hands that could handle it. :)

But can it deflect a bullet using an ultra strong miniature electro magnet?

from a technical standpoint, this is nonsense. No small compressed gas cylinder is going to hold enough gas under high enough pressure to freeze anything. Releasing the gas will do plenty of harm, but not because of any freezing effect. I swear, don't they teach science in school anymore? Don't publications have editors anymore?
