you are the terrorists the governments really fight

probably available in uk as soon as they make a version of that shit with the driving wheel on the right

The police are using a new none-lethal weapon at a protest that has the potential to turn violent. It's a none-story.

ahh, if you put it like that i like it already

[alien pimp]

speshal dehdeecation for firky: enjoy the flight too!

Uh-oh. Now that a terrorist has tried unsuccessfully to blow up a Saudi prince with a bomb shoved up his ass, the TSA is obliged to perform rectal exams on every flier for the rest of time.

If you were wearing the best ear plugs and muffs in the industry at the same time you can get an NRR(noise reduction rate) of 36 decibels. The LRAD can produce 155 decibels when you are in the beam. Take 155 minus 36 and you get 119. While 119 is no where near safe it is much more manageable than 155. It is the equivalent of a snowmobile being held full throttle which I have been around many times. Is it safe for your ears? No, but it will significantly reduce it. Fuck The Who set a concert record when their volume was officially documented at 120 so 119 isn't so bad.

That is some FUCKED UP shit.

Color me completely unsurprised, but still. They can fucking deafen people with that thing. Not cool.

There were houses around there. So you're sitting in your house and then you're deaf because the government is scared of the hippies.

Seriously. Fuck that shit.

That's the thing though, they wouldn't. The LRAD doesn't just amplify the sound in all directions, it is a highly focused beam. If you are not in the beam you will barely hear it so that is what makes it so appealing. There is very little collateral damage.

According to the manufacturer's specifications, the equipment weighs 45 pounds (20 kg) and can emit sound in a 30° beam (only at high frequency, 2.5 kHz) from a device 83 centimetres (33 in) in diamete

Only people in front of that 30 degree beam will hear the noise.

[djshiva]

Even better. Let's deafen people who protest.

Guh. Don't even get me started.

[magma]

Riot police already have plastic bullets, tear gas, batons, shields, tasers and, in some countries, proper fucking guns.

This seems like a relatively sensible idea compared to those. Ever seen somebody shot with a plastic bullet? They're called "less lethal" rather than "non lethal" for a reason.

This is like the reaction when Daily Mail readers hear that a paedophile might move into the neighbourhood.

[alien pimp]

and for the mockery to be complete - it's all payed with our cash
only firky should pay for these!

I genuinely would rather my money was spent on non-lethal deterrents rather than less-lethal ones.

[djshiva]

I genuinely would be more pissed off about going deaf than getting tear-gassed.
