As a non-US citizen, I know I'd feel a lot more comfortable getting zapped with something that had already been used to zap rowdy US sports fans rioting after their team lost the world series.

Your link didn't work for me. Here is another:

I just have to wonder, is turnabout fair play? Would it be ok for US citizens to test weapons on him?

Anyone see that South Park episode with the 'brown noise?'

I've heard that might be realistic some day.

I doubt it would see much use, though. Imagine the cleanup!

Twitch, I like your suggestion.

I do not mind the idea of the test just so long as Secretary Michael Wynne, Donald Rumsfeld, the Pres. and Vice Pres. are at the front of the test croud. Cheney's pace maker could possibly redirect the waves leaving him standing after the other four fall or run.

Funny, that guy looks like he's way into it. It'd be interesting to read a brief (and I mean brief) description of what he thought he was getting out of that.
