<HTML>Die Los Angeles Times (7.3. 2004) brachte einen interessanten Artikel über non-letale Waffen, insbesondere Akustik- und Mikrowellen-Waffen:
The Pentagon's Secret Scream
[

Darin wird berichtet, dass das amerikanische Militär diese HighTech-Waffen aus ethischen und juristischen Gründen bislang nicht eingesetzt hat: "But the more exotic weapons - including acoustic, laser, and high-powered microwave devices - have not until now been fielded, held up by legal and ethical questions."
Dies soll sich jetzt ändern: "Yet after paying lip service to the very psychological and political fallout that could result from the employment of novel technologies like acoustic weapons or high-powered microwaves, the council task force urged that prototype nonlethal weapons - that is, weapons just like American Technology's new sound weapon - "be placed with our operating forces" to test their efficacy and create greater demand among combat commanders."</HTML>
