I didn't believe this story while watching it on CNN today! They put
soldiers about 1 city block in front of this radar van. The soldiers
were throwing rocks, to similate a city riot. They turned the radar on
and they felt such intense heat that they ran away! Then a CNN reporter
got in front of the thing, because they told her it wouldn't hurt her.
She felt heat throughout her whole body too and started squealing from
it. They said it's done with 95 GHz high powered radar. This is nuts! It
reminds me of when they marched troops into a nuclear test site after a
bomb went off, to prove that they could fight after a nuclear strike,
then the troops got radiation sickness later, cancers and many of them
died. It's just crazy. I wouldn't set foot in front of one of these
things!

And what if they start using it covertly on people?

Ray gun makes targets feel as if they are on fire
POSTED: 12:42 p.m. EST, January 25, 2007

MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Georgia (AP) -- The military's new weapon is a ray
gun that shoots a beam that makes people feel as if they will catch
fire.

The technology is supposed to be harmless -- a non-lethal way to get
enemies to drop their weapons.

Military officials say it could save the lives of civilians and service
members in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.

The weapon is not expected to go into production until at least 2010,
but all branches of the military have expressed interest in it,
officials said. (Watch a demo of the ray gun Video)

During the first media demonstration of the weapon Wednesday, airmen
fired beams from a large dish antenna mounted atop a Humvee at people
pretending to be rioters and acting out other scenarios U.S. troops
might encounter.

The crew fired beams from more than 500 yards (455 meters) away, nearly
17 times the range of existing non-lethal weapons, such as rubber
bullets.

While the sudden, 130-degree Fahrenheit (54.44 Celsius) heat was not
painful, it was intense enough to make participants think their clothes
were about to ignite.

"This is one of the key technologies for the future," said Marine Col.
Kirk Hymes, director of the non-lethal weapons program that helped
develop the weapon. "Non-lethal weapons are important for the escalation
of force, especially in the environments our forces are operating in."

The system uses millimeter waves, which can penetrate only 1/64th of an
inch of skin, just enough to cause discomfort. By comparison, common
kitchen microwaves penetrate several inches of skin.

The millimeter waves cannot go through walls, but they can penetrate
most clothing, officials said. They refused to comment on whether the
waves can go through glass.

Two airmen and 10 reporters volunteered to be zapped with the beams,
which easily penetrated various layers of winter clothing.

The system was developed by the military, but the two devices being
evaluated were built by defense contractor Raytheon.

Airman Blaine Pernell, 22, said he could have used the system during his
four tours in Iraq, where he manned watchtowers around a base near
Kirkuk. He said Iraqis often pulled up and faked car problems so they
could scout U.S. forces.

"All we could do is watch them," he said. But if they had the ray gun,
troops "could have dispersed them."
