Oh, the pain, the pain

Interesting article in Wired about the development of a non-lethal "pain beam". They claim that it may be a while before it hits the streets: "it's currently mounted on a Hummer and costs millions of dollars". Hmm, I'm not sure that's much of a deterrent. Hummer + millions of dollars = new weapon. That's the perfect equation for any number of filthy rich scumbags...
