<HTML>In einem Artikel der Los Angeles Times, Pulling Punches, 4.1.2004, der sich u.a. mit sog. non-lethal weapons befasst, wird eine anti-personen Mikrowellenwaffe als die vielversprechendste Form bezeichnet:
"The most promising new capability, according to military sources, is the 'active denial system,' a euphemism for a microwave weapon that could stop would-be attackers from advancing. A Humvee-mounted prototype utilizes a powerful millimeter-wave beam that penetrates skin to a depth of about 1/64th of an inch, heating water molecules and producing what a Marine Corps legal opinion calls 'intolerable pain.'"</HTML>
