- "Set phasers on ''stupid''!"
Being a Marine, I would rather not face an enemy (whose intentions are deadly) with a inside-out microwave oven that gives him a warm feeling. Besides, that phased-array dish on top looks like one Hell of a target. - Reply to this comment
- "And as long as it''s been used properly, there''s no harm to your body."
Therein lies the problem, in the hands of a sadistic soldier, or later, a policeman, it won''t be used properly. - Reply to this comment
We might well be better off if we just pulled the plug on the Pentagon.- Reply to this comment
- I was appalled by the story on the latest weapon, a science fiction type ray gun that presumably will be used against protesters in Iraq and possibly against peaceful protesters here in the U.S. This weapon may not kill, but it is very painful and can blister and even burn some people. 60 Minutes interviewed military people, but why was there no interview with someone who could discuss the ethics of using such a weapon? Our media should be raising these tough questions, not merely going along with the flow. I expect better of 60 Minutes.

Thank you for demonstrating that this latest tool of Fascism can be effectively defeated with a shield.
This beam must take a relatively large amount of energy to maintain for very long.
At least now we know that we can safely advance on the sadistic morons that are operating these devices, and neutralize them.- Reply to this comment

- wonder what would happen if evil-people-of-power [epops]aimed this peace device at small aircraft carrying, say, a minnesota senator and his family

- Does anyone out there really see the problem with this piece? The US Army, or whatever arm of the military developing this weapon is playing out a scenario that the "enemy" are folks holding signs for world peace!!! Shouldn''t they be holding signs of hatred? SHOULD WE BE AIMING ANYTHING AT ANYONE WHO JUST WANTS PEACE??? Having peace does not mean we can''t have weapons or soldiers or pentagons. If we strive for peace, it may mean that mothers and fathers won''t lose their sons and daughters needlessly.
