Military Zaps Reporter
The folks at the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program got to live out a dream shared by literally millions of members of the armed services, the civilian federal bureaucracy and, heck, the citizenry at large: They got to zap a reporter with a non-lethal pain ray. And they've got the video to prove it. (Scroll down to "ADS Media Exposure Video" under "ADS Media Day - January 24, 2007.") It was all part of a demonstration of the Active Denial System, a weapon that focuses millimeter waves on its target to produce an intolerable heat sensation, causing the reporter -- I mean, "target" -- to get the hell out of the way as quickly as he or she can move.
