The Anti-Hijacking Safety Bracelet

Here's another reason not to fly:

A Canadian company called Lamperd Less Lethal is promoting the EMD Safety Bracelet. It's equipped with electro muscular disruption technology, which effectively short-circuits the central nervous system. Zap someone and they'll be completely immobile for several minutes.

The technology isn't new -- cops and security guards have been using it for years in tasers. What's new is the marketing approach. Lamperd is hawking the EMD bracelet as the ideal tool for fighting terrorists intent on taking over an airplane.

So -- how long until these bracelets become mandatory for all US citizens? After all, if you're not a terrorist, you have nothing to fear from your government.
