Marine Col: "I think our forces will figure out the many different applications that it would have.”
The U.S. military has unveiled its newest approach to crowd control, the Active Denial System, a heat ray that sends out a high-frequency electromagnetic ray. People hit with the ray feel an intense, unbearable heat. The military touts the ray's "far-ranging" capabilities and is looking at "many different applications" for its possible use.

"You're not gonna see it, you're not gonna hear it, you're not gonna smell it: you're gonna feel it."
In a video to demonstrate the new weapon, USFORCESTV explains that the heat ray "boasts a reach far beyond any other non-lethal system" -- a reach of "about 7 footballs fields."
Crowd control systems are a definite growth sector. The police are drooling. Tom

I can't even believe this. I'm sure it wont be long until this is in use to control the backlash against government. But, we live in a democracy, right? Thanks for posting this.
Can you imagine the use in peaceful protest demonstrations? No democracy here! I suppose it will be years before they determine that use is linked to higher incidents of cancer or some other fatality.
