Pain Ray Headed to Iraq?

It's been talked about for years. But the Pentagon's microwave-like pain ray may finally be headed to Iraq, Inside the Army reports.

Developed by the Air Force, the so-called "Active Denial System" (ADS) fires out milimeter waves -- a sort of cousin of microwaves, in the 95 GHz range. The invisible beams penetrate just a 64th of inch beneath the skin. But that's deep enough to heat up the water inside a person. Which is enough to cause excruciating pain.

Seconds later, people have to run away. And that causes mobs to break up in a hurry. It's no wonder, then, why less-lethal weapon guru Charles "Sid" Heal calls the ray the "Holy Grail of crowd control."

Raytheon has been developing a Humvee-mountable ADS for the Pentagon over the last couple of years, as part of an ACTD, or "advanced concept technology demonstration."

this capability?

Boiling people's internal juices?

And the Iraqis get to be the guinea pigs, for future domestic use. MKJ

Next stop will be back here in the US. Gotta do something to break up those pesky peace protesters.

increased funding for weapons.......while cutting the money meant for military personnel. This administration has given the Pentagon everything it has asked for, while ignoring the human cost.

Is there anything that this admin won't stoop to? Anything?
