Sound to make an army flee

A NEW sonic weapon being developed for the Pentagon makes use of one of the most fearsome sounds known to humans: a baby crying.

Once aimed at the enemy, a focused beam of the familiar noise, played backwards, will be painful enough to make enemy soldiers run for their lives, according to its developers. They call it the

Yeah right. Worked real well at Waco. The bulldozing and fire were just incidental.

...one of the most fearsome sounds known to humans: a baby crying...might in theory be used against hijackers in a plane cockpit, though the bouncing beams could deafen passengers as well.

I used to live on Capitol Hill and I think this was being tested by people who drove by my house in cars with the windows rolled down.

How does the FDA have approval administration over a thing like this?

This weapon will be useless in the mid east. Have you ever heard their music?

One I've never managed to listen to all the way is Shatner's cover of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." That's guranateed to drive anyone out of the room.
