Sweeping stun guns to target crowds

http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99996014

 

Weapons that can incapacitate crowds of people by sweeping a lightning-like beam of electricity across them are being readied for sale to military and police forces in the US and Europe.

 

At present, commercial stun guns target one person at a time, and work only at close quarters. The new breed of non-lethal weapons can be used on many people at once and operate over far greater distances.

We live in the sci-fi future I read about as a kid.

 

In this case, unfortunately.

SOunds like Ayn Rand and Kurt Vonnegut all rolled into one

 

Bring on the crowd control :ph34r:
