It might be naive, but I would have expected that there is some approval process for stuff like that. It's an inherently dangerous thing to incapacitate people without harming them. An example of how this went horribly wrong was the Moscow hostage crisis, where a gas designed to incapacitate people ended up killing a lot of them.
I don't see any acceptable reason to introduce new agents here unless they are properly studied and considered less harmful than the existing ones.
