@nikola: First off, it's not our government, but our private sector. This comes from Raytheon, and despite that they're heavily intertwined with our military, they are not (YET) our military. Second, I would prefer the perception of being set on fire to ACTUALLY being set on fire. Third, what makes you think this will be limited to the United States? Raytheon sells equipment all over the world. This could be anywhere within a month. I predict a huge market in third-world warlords, banana-republics, and potential war criminals. Fourth; get off your soap-box. Just because it comes from an American company doesn't mean it's exclusively American, or that it is some reflection on American mass-culture. This isn't an excuse to bash a foreign (or even your home) country or your belief of the goals of its future, as-yet-unnamed leaders. And last, "permanently pinched nerves" from a low-penetration microwave emitter? That's just plain idiotic. Do you learn science from cereal boxes? Do you think Wifi can hurt you, too?
Oddly enough, this is the first time an aluminum-foil hat would actually do some good. Or just a piece of sheet metal.
