This is perhaps one of the most kooky and creepy Security State tactics that I have come across: the EMD safety bracelet, which is being billed as the "last line of defence." A company called Lamperd Firearm Training Systems(scroll down) is trying to commercialize this item as an "airline security product." The company’s video that hawks this device talks about the current facial recognition system called biometrics, where cameras capture photos of people and compare those images to the images of "terrorists" in its "terrorist" database. No matter how sophisticated this technology, it can all too often allow a terrorist on board a plane, and, this technology can also have the effect of creating airport bottlenecks. Ahem. The solution? The "viable, workable answer" is an electronic ID bracelet. This bracelet will replace the need for a ticket and contain all necessary information about the person, and as a bonus, it can allow the passenger to be tracked through the terminal. Crew members would be empowered with radio frequency transmitters to subdue "hijackers." The technology will override a person’s central nervous system and zap them down quicker than you can say "Homeland Security." The company assures us that being dragged through the bracelet process is a "small inconvenience in order to assure your safe arrival." In fact, its studies show that most people would "happily opt" for wearing the bracelet to "insure their own security."
Here’s the Lamperd video on YouTube - you must watch it. Here’s the patent for this device. The patent actually reads this:
Upon activation of the electric shock device, through receipt of an activating signal from the selectively operable remote control means, the passenger wearing that particular bracelet receives the disabling electrical shock from the electric shock device. Accordingly, the passenger becomes incapacitated for a few seconds or perhaps a few minutes, during which time the passenger can be fully subdued and handcuffed, if necessary. Depending on the type of transmission medium used to send the activating signal, other passengers may also become temporarily incapacitated, which is undesirable and unfortunate, but may be unavoidable.
Lamperd even posts a series of letters on its website showing interest in the product for use "outside of airport security," which, of course, is the real reason for the product. Why it can be used for border control to subdue illegal aliens or by local law enforcement agencies to control the "criminal element!"
Accordingly, the passenger becomes incapacitated for a few seconds or perhaps a few minutes, during which time the passenger can be fully subdued and handcuffed,
IMO, this will not work on a trained, mentally disciplined or drugged person. I have read where Tasers have not worked on some criminals on drugs, etc.
This is believeable. When working in auto mechanics in the South, it was not uncommon to see mechanics remove spark plug wires, one at a time, while the engine was running (a fast way of finding a bad cylinder). They had disciplined and conditioned themselves themselves to overcome/ignore the 20,000 to 50,000 volts going thru them while concentrating on finding the bad cylinder.
Though I've never tried it, IMHO, it is possible to mentally conquer a Taser.

I'm still waiting for those Y2K internment camps to be filled.
You know, the ones that poster "Uncle Bill" used to post about ALL THE TIME.
The US State Department suggested today that American citizens delay travel to Russia and that US citizens now living in Russia consider leaving the country until the complete extent of the effects of Y2K are known.
In a prepared statement, the State Department warns, "U.S. citizens should consider deferring travel to Russia until the extent of Y2K-related disruptions, which may begin January 1, becomes clear. U.S. citizens in Russia should consider their personal situations and take those actions they deem appropriate to ensure their well-being, including departure."
The statement also advised, "When making such plans, it is prudent to take into account the potential for diminished availability of seats on commercial airlines as January 1, 2000 approaches."
"Prolonged disruptions in energy supplies in Russia could put other systems dependent on electrical power at risk. In practical terms this could mean disruption of basic human services such as heat, water, telephones, and other vital services," reads the statement.
In addition, the State Department has authorized the voluntary departure of non-essential federal employees, and their families from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and U.S. consulates in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok.
The United Nations-based International Y2K Cooperation Center has reported that while there is no indication they may fail, many Soviet-built nuclear power plants remain unprepared for Y2K.
Did you click on the link above; one of his typical posts can be found there ...
No. But I know what some people were saying. There were people like Gary North warning us. There were also government elements warning us. There were also others like yourself who laughed at the idea. I guess you and your type were right on that one. That doesn't mean any more than you were right on y2k. You can't translate that to other issues.
Invite Uncle Bill over here to defend himself. As I do not have a libertypost password.
I assume you still post over there. It has bee a little while since I have looked over there.
