Well, it seems that the LRAD "Sound Cannons" developed by the DOD in the 1990's,which have recently been re-deployed for civilian law enforcement use at events like the G20 protests in Pittsburgh and in Canada have only whetted the appetite for Law Enforcement's ever-growing desire for power, control, and the ability to inflict pain on citizens in a manner that doesn't leave marks.

The "Active Denial System", or "pain ray" as they call it on the streets of Afghanistan, is a new, even MORE painful technology that has been 20 years in the making. The DOD has been testing this out in the Gulf for a long time, but recently decided to pull them ALL out of the theater, and ship them back to the CONUS.
Maybe they're gearing up for the next G20 event. Or maybe they'll be deployed at the next anti-war protest. Or maybe we'll see (and feel) these at the next big OC rally.
Plan on seeing (and perhaps experiencing) these delightful devices at a major political event in the VERY near future...

Aren't you proud of your Government?
Gotta love the "kinder, gentler" America...
