For years people online have been complaining that these things were being used and tested on them. There is even one court case for someone who says his family were targeted by these. These weapons are suppose to be nonelethal, but that is only is used in limited capacity. 3 seconds is the perscribed time for their use, but we all know that this will not happen with an angry crowd. These will be used for longer time frames, and the beam has an unspecified range. These weapons will case more harm than good and if they are used in Iraq today, they will be used in America and other countries tomorrow. It's time to take a stance on this before it's too late. http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,72134-0.html?tw=wn_politics
