| Given what I know of the "authorities" who will ultimately be the owners of these systems, I view this with great trepidation. It is non lethal, but it is force.
I don't ascribe good intentions to those who possess high technology at present. I think that non-lethal technology is a double-edged sword. It avoids bloodshed and death, but it encourages using force against opponents that may be peaceful and seeking resolution to problems, ie. mass meetings.
Overall my question is this. Will it augment centralized power over our lives or will it allow us, "the People" to be freer?
BTW, it is the perfect torture device. I am sure the CIA is thrilled. :(
