At least for now because it's so freakin' big, you will have ample warning and a better chance of getting away from it before it is deployed on you.

Actually we are like the insane Israelis already.

The whole country is paranoid. That is why it was so easy for a certified idiot to be the so-called 'leader' of 300m inhabitants: Paranoid Americans are easily led mislead into the abyss by means of fear-mongering. LOL

And yes, those weapons will most certainly be used on Americans, and frequently as is done with the tazers now!

These guns makes it easier for our government thugs to TORTURE FELLOW AMERICANS!

I can't wait for the consumer version. I'll use at the movies when that jackass in front of me answers his cell phone...or on those kids that take twelve minutes to use a crosswalk...or the neighbors dog when he's about to leave a biscuit on my lawn. Heck, there are a million and one uses for this!

I've heard of this thing, but the article I read last year said it felt like your skin was actually on fire. Painful even for desert folks. Maybe this was a toned-down version so the volunteers wouldn't be hurt too bad. Ratchet up the power or move closer than 500 yards and it'll probably hurt more. Don't worry Kaliveotin, I'm sure there's a secret microwave version that cooks you from the inside.

Non-lethal??? Right. The public version, maybe.
Soon they'l be using it on american protesters. We won't see the real weapon until protestors become seen as dangerous again, as they were before Kent State. At that time the government will bring out the more serious secret version.
