WIRED Blogs: Danger Room — This is another device that is going to force us all to wear the aluminum foil hat!

However, rather than causing intense pain, like the Active Denial System, Invocon is advertising a weapon that boasts the ability to go through walls and incapacitate everyone in a room by making them lose their balance. “Second order effects would be extreme motion sickness,” the company notes.

Basically, you’re safely in your house, an invisible beam hits you, you feel dizzy, and fall over (or puke). Or so goes the promotion

found by TJ Geezer who adds: “Can’t wait for this one to get into the hands of the increasingly paramiltary local police forces. Won’t they have fun with this one in Atlanta….”

    The power of christ compels you! The power of christ compels you! Okay… Sick as a dog. Okay… Okay… Gonna vomit…

    It’s called a “laser.”

    The creatures that run this country are creating a nightmare for us.
    It’s amazing that so many still believe the myths about America.

  3. Noam Sane says:

    Anyone who has ever had an infection of the inner ear knows how debilitating this can be. I was rolled out of my house on a stretcher last year and ambulanced to the ER because I couldn’t stand up (or stop barfing).

    Science marches on.

    Mmmmmmm………..Just look at how little is needed now for the use of the tazer. We recently had an incident here locally, were a drunk was passed out cold, and was tazed for non compliance. Yes, an unconscious individual laying on a couch. So how little justification do you think they will need to use these new devices, this one and the other one that heats up your skin. Things are going to get interesting.

    “It’s called a “laser.”"

    Hmm. One that goes through walls? I see. :)

    (with the article, I mean)

  8. TheGlobalWarmer says:

    Cool. I want one.

  9. Raff says:

    I’ll bet one of those would be fun at parties..

    Those of you who are complaining about this have NO reason to complain about regular guns then. If someone is told to knock it off and doesn’t then they have to be shot with something to make them quit it.

    Your mother made you clean your plate before you were allowed to leave the table, didn’t she?

    “If someone is told to knock it off and doesn’t then they have to be shot with something to make them quit it.”

    Now that’s incredible logic.

    I am intrigued by your argument and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

    I used to have a wacky government-conspiracy crazy friend who actually built a sonic “phaser” which had the same effect. I actually saw him use it on animals, incapacitating them.

    Hmm, looking back, I should have been scared shitless to be in his presence. What was I thinking?

  15. BryanP says:

    Hmm. Apparently a thin layer of metal will defeat it. And it affects your inner ear.

    Finally a legitimate use for the tin foil hat!

    It just occurred to me – a beam of some sort that makes you barf?

    What’s it do, project that pic of Ann Coulter onto your retina?

    More like a picture of Dick Cheney in a mankini.
