"Nonlethal weapons such as high-power microwave devices should be used on American citizens in crowd-control situations before being used on the battlefield, the Air Force secretary said Tuesday."

oh now thats a good idea.

(note that the article also says: "On another subject, Wynne said he expects to choose a new contractor for the next generation aerial refueling tankers by next summer." with a 20 billion dollar contract...hmm... 20 billion dollars could go a long way...could it be there is a little something extra going on with these "refeuling tankers"?)
