What Will They Think of Next
According to the Los Angeles Times, the Pentagon is preparing to deploy a new weapon in Iraq, "a powerful megaphone the size of a satellite dish that can deliver recorded warnings in Arabic and, on command, emit a piercing tone so excruciating to humans, its boosters say, that it causes crowds to disperse, clears buildings and repels intruders." The chairman of American Technology Corp. says that "[for] most people, even if they plug their ears, [the device] will produce the equivalent of an instant migraine." The Pentagon should have saved itself the trouble and deployed videotapes of this year's Super Bowl halftime show.
