I was pleased to see that researchers are leaving no stone unturned in their search for non-lethal weapons. Two of the weapons reports and proposals listed in the article caught my eye in particular: “Vehicle Exhaust System Plugs and Emissive Reagents” and “Lubricant and Grease Additives for Immobilizing Machinery.”
I gather this means that if the US invades Iraq, once the soldiers find Saddam Hussein’s car they’ll pour sawdust in the crankcase and stuff a potato up the exhaust pipe. Then I would guess they’d ring his doorbell and run away giggling.
