Lamperd, a "firearm training system" company, has patented a bracelet that delivers debilitating shocks when remotely triggered. Their proposed use for this is [em]aviation safety[/em]: they're wanting that the TSA could force everyone who flies to wear one of these and then flight-attendants could zap us into a stupor if we turn out to be Al Quaeda.
 [blockquote]A method of providing air travel security for passengers traveling via an aircraft comprises situating a remotely activatable electric shock device on each of the passengers in position to deliver a disabling electrical shock when activated; and arming the electric shock devices for subsequent selective activation by a selectively operable remote control disposed within the aircraft. The remotely activatable electric shock devices each have activation circuitry responsive to the activating signal transmitted from the selectively operable remote control means. The activated electric shock device is operable to deliver the disabling electrical shock to that passenger. [/blockquote]  Best part? They're Canadian!    [a href="vny!://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6,933,851.PN.&OS=PN/6,933,851&RS=PN/6,933,851"]Link to patent[/a], [a href="vny!://www.lamperdlesslethal.com/"]Link to Lamperd FTS site[/a]    
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Remember when the worst thing we had to worry about was a plane crash?  But it does seem like a reasonable idea.
Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped.  They have not forgotten.

How long before we have to use these when we vote? - And get zapped if we vote for the wrong person.
A fool's paradise is better than none.

I agree with kitten.. this seems like not a so bad idea for when on a plane. Ive been on a number of long distance flights now where people get beligerent and drunk. I feel sorry for the stewardesses.
