Weaponized short microwaves: Dangerous people deserve pain

When I worked with wave guides in my junior-level e-m courses, we were always cautioned to stay out of the beam, and for God sakes, not to look at it! This Pentagon contraption is a nasty weaponized version of a wave guide manufactured by Raytheon. It's not exactly rocket science, just a way to generate and direct microwaves (about 1/40 the wavelength of the oven kind) at rouges who might challenge Pentagon objectives.

It's billed as non-destructive, but if you follow through the links HERE, you'll see that rapid burning of soft tissue will occur if a body, or an eye, intercepts the full power of the machine.

Here's the video, care of Raw Story:



Glad to know the military has a branch for the purpose of making carefully stenciled peace signs for weapons test subjects. Maybe they could bring 'em on for the 5th anniversary of the war. I feel so much safer now that I know these guys at least can conceive phrases like "Love for All."

(Update below: The full 60 Minutes video that shows the attack on the peace sign holders.)
