I think the comment from Acelib kind of covers my thoughts:

"Do you guys see how the reporter here is kind of stenographing and being buddy-buddy with the intervewiee ? No matter what you think about the particular subject, the way this report is done is just shameful. There is no real questioning of basic assumptions of the person interviewed. Instead the reporter seems to be fully on the side of the powers that be, he just *relates* what they are saying without any fundamental questioning. No wonder the US is in such bad shape with reporting like that."

I see alllll kinds of fucked-up happening as a result of this.

On one hand, fewer combat deaths.

Fine.

On the other hand, the perfect torture device, complete and total pain and no marks to betray the torturers. 

This is the Orwellian superweapon.

They're going to use it against US. civilians, to "manage crowds". You know that, right? No more annoying protesters!

All the more reason to stick around for the (quote) FUN (unquote)... right?

They're going to use smaller versions in little darkened rooms where they ask you questions, too.

There has got to be a defense against this...

PROTIP:  Don't be a part of the crowd.

My goal is to go one step further.  Don't be a US civilian.

Also, avoid the unmarked van and the sunglassed men who would like to have words with you.

"as long as it is used properly"

That is the lynchpin right there.

Technology is never used properly.  People will always abuse it or lose it.

Technology is never exclusively used properly.  People will always abuse it or lose it.

While people are abusing and losing it, there are many others putting it to good use.

Example:  You fine spags here.   Okay, bad example.
