Here’s a clue to understanding the language of Homeland Security: If you want to discover the torture devices they’re developing for use against prisoners, search for the phrase, “nonlethal weapon”.
Case in point: The LED Incapacitator.
The LED Incapacitator is a special kind of flashlight that is designed to emit light in certain patterns and wavelengths in such a way as to force people to vomit.
The blog Mind Modulations says of the LED Incapacitator that it could be used to bring “a bad guy” into custody.
Substitute “criminal suspect” for “bad guy”. This LED Incapacitator may be nonlethal, but it is a form of physical and psychological attack.
The same blog relays the idea that a larger could be used against “a mob”.
Substitute “group of protesters” for “mob”, and you see another way in which this kind of attack technology can go terribly wrong.
We know that our government follows the Joseph Lieberman school of torture: That so long as you don’t leave a permanent mark, you can inflict whatever kind of suffering you want to against prisoners and criminal suspects.
The LED Incapacitator is one more instrument of torture that can be used by the Homeland Security goons against us.

Ive seen something about this led thing before on future weapons, and in comparison to oh, i dont know - a flashbang grenade, a 50,000 volt taser, an old fashion billy-club, and lets not forget the police issue .45 caliber handgun; as weapons of “self-defense against would-be violent criminals”, i think by far the led is the less painful, less likely to maim and kill and who are we protecting here? Police against criminals, or us against ourselves?

Right, because you can tell who “us” is and who the “criminals” are. The “us” have a U on their foreheads, and the criminals have a “C” on their foreheads. Just remember, you have nothing to fear from this unless you have a “C” on your forehead.

How tragic if we are really forced to choose between protecting police against criminals and protecting us against ourselves?
It seems to me that perhaps the greatest weakness in the American response to 9/11 was the failure to protect us against ourselves.
