- gaius 16y agoThe military have a huge issue at checkpoints, if you ask a driver to stop and he doesn't, then you can't take the risk he didn't understand; he could be a suicide bomber. So they open fire. This provides a means to say, in any language, stop. So it will save lives.
- hugh3 16y agoOh, I'm sure it has plenty of good uses. But it's right that people should be concerned about the potentially bad ones. In that case, though, I'm thinking that my instinct upon getting hit with a pain-causing weapon would be to mash the accelerator and try to drive out of range. Also, I don't think it would be all that effective on someone inside a metal car.
- jberryman 16y agomaybe. or the presence of bigass pain rays and unmanned flying killing machines could make us look like the kind of oppressors that you wouldnt mind blowing yourself up to overthrow
- gaius 16y agoYeah. But this has always been a risk, ever since the Air Force discovered strategic bombing.
