Oh boy! I'm looking forward to when this is deployed on US citizens. It will only be a few years out, you know. Maybe it will be another great innovation like Tazers, which police can use to attack citizens as an alternative to being civil. Need a handheld version first, though. I guess this model will only be good for repressing protests.
- hugh3 16y agoEven if you don't think it's likely to be used against US citizens, I imagine the Chinese Government is not far behind in the development of this sort of technology.
- code_duck 16y agoIndeed, and each will be selling such technology to other governments eventually.

- nickpinkston 16y agoThe G20 protest in Pittsburgh was the first time the LRAD (sound cannon) was used on US Citizens (me included). It wasn't bad - people brought eye plugs, but I see no easy way to combat this either - short of tin-foil hats that is ;-) Scary times ahead!
