Alternet chimes in on the ray gun

There's an interesting article over at Alternet that explores the potential dangers of what they call a "ray gun" but the military call an "active denial system". As I already pointed out the ADS is destined to be tested by the military in Iraq. The Alternet article mentioned several adverse effects that could be expected from 94Ghz radiation, none of which seem to be stopping multiple government agencies getting all excited about owning ADS for their own purposes, be it stopping rioters in Iraq to defending nuclear power plants at home. Presumably when all those billions of energy bill dollars turn into new nuclear power stations they'll be need a quite a few "active denial systems" to keep those flaming liberal protestors at bay....
