Bruce Schneier posted this article about taser proof clothes on his blog. This will be great for defeating any urban dwellers armed with a Scorpion. That is until they use the pepper-spray end on you, or, god forbid, the Wasp they keep on their utility belt.

William Gibson mentioned this bad ass urban retribution system (URS) on his blog.

“This weapon injects a freezing cold ball of compressed gas, approximately the size of a basketball, at 800psi nearly instantly. The effects of this injection will drop many of the world’s largest land predators. The effects of the compressed gas not only cause over-inflation during ascent when used underwater, but also freezes all tissues and organs surrounding the point of injection on land or at sea. When used underwater, the injected gas carries the predator to the surface BEFORE blood is released into the water. Thus giving the diver added protection by diverting other potential predators to the surface. “

This is even more wicked than the Scorpion that I blogged about here a couple months ago.

Check it out! The Scorpion - a 200,000 volt taser on one end, pepper spray on the other.

This is the only way to properly prepare one’s midnight snack!

I’m going to try and get a demo of this for review on the show. Stay tuned…
