Should man actually hold this kind of power to inflict pain upon another human being?
What happens if your locked in a cell and can't get out of the way?
Note that Raytheon won't reveal the cost of this little gadget and the generosity of their free trail.
Can you see what I'm saying.
How hot is to hot?
Perhaps that's one of the answers they're looking for
A high-tech ray gun built for the military that fires an invisible heat beam capable of causing unbearable pain will be tested on unruly inmates in the sheriff's detention facility in Castaic, officials said Friday at an unveiling event.
The "Assault Intervention System" (AIS) developed by the Raytheon Co., could give the Sheriff's Department "another tool" to quell disturbances at a 65-inmate dormitory at the Pitchess Detention Center's North County Correctional Facility, said Cmdr. Bob Osborne, head of the technology exploration branch of the sheriff's Department of Homeland Security Division.
The 600-pound, 7-foot-tall device won't replace traditional methods such as tear gas, rubber bullets and batons, Osborne said.
"We're looking to see if we can exploit this science for the benefit of the Corrections Department," he said.
