    Just saw a show on CBS news about using light to subdue people. Wonder how long it will take before they accidentally kill or severely injure a bystander by causing a seizure. At least with mace, pepper spray, and tasers the only one in danger is the one the authorities are after. Unless you count one cop "accidentally" shocking another. Now to protect the wrongdoer from a slight chance of being killed or injured from pepper spray or a taser they will use the LCD strobe light and risk injuring bystanders. Sounds like telling the sniper to take a break we have a nuke to use instead. I can hear it now... "Well, we aimed the light on the subject, and it worked." Then... "Later on in the news, 30 car pileup, still no explanation as to what started the pileup, luckily police units were nearby detaining a subject and were quick to respond with help."

      It'll be called Hypnotoad, and it will be broadcast on all channels simultaneously.

        Light is a great way of getting rid of your excess princesses! Especially in Parisian tunnels! :)

          Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses have been specially designed to help people develop a relaxed attitude to danger. At the first hint of trouble, they turn totally black and thus prevent you from seeing anything that might alarm you.

              You call these letters friendly? To much contrast, to blunt, to sharp edges. Scary. ;)
