The Department of Homeland Security is pursuing the introduction of a device known as the Security Bracelet, a wearable tag that would allow authorities to inflict pain compliance on suspects from a distance, while also recommending law enforcement applications and potential use in "crowd control situations". Introduced ostensibly to combat airline terrorism, a creepy promo video courtesy of the patent holders Lamperd FTS exploits shocking 9/11 imagery to push the torture device as a solution to countering potential hijackers by inflicting "Electro-Muscular Disruption" and presumably giving the rest of the passengers a debilitating shock at the same time. Watch the clip. "Upon activation of the electric shock device, through receipt of an activating signal from the selectively operable remote control means, the passenger wearing that particular bracelet receives the disabling electrical shock from the electric shock device. Accordingly, the passenger becomes incapacitated for a few seconds or perhaps a few minutes, during which time the passenger can be fully subdued and handcuffed, if necessary. Depending on the type of transmission medium used to send the activating signal, other passengers may also become temporarily incapacitated, which is undesirable and unfortunate, but may be unavoidable," reads the patent for the device. The claim that such a shock would "not cause permanent injury" is an insult to the hundreds of Taser victims who have lost their lives to so-called "non-lethal weapons" - devices whose abuse by authorities has led groups like Amnesty International to condemn them as an affront to basic human rights. Why the terrorists wouldn't just remove the bracelet as soon as they boarded the plane isn't explained, but the perceived fallibility of the device isn't the issue - the heart of the matter is the fact that the Department of Homeland Security has publicly expressed an interest and is seeking funding to utilize the device against the "criminal element". Letters exchanged between the company and DHS official Paul S. Ruwaldt show Homeland Security's intention to utilize the device for border control and, "indeed for anywhere else for which the temporarily restraint of large numbers of individuals in open area environments by a small number of agents or Law Enforcement Officers". The letters confirm that funding is being sought for the widespread deployment of the device and that several state and local authorities have expressed an interest, as well as the DOD, the CDC, Department of Interior, Department of Agriculture Forestry service as well as unnamed law enforcement agencies. In addition, according to the biography of Barry Lamperd, the owner of the company behind the device, carried on his own website, "His current focus is on products related to the use of less lethal weapons in crowd control situations". Since revelations about warrantless secret surveillance of all U.S. citizens as well as millions of innocent Americans being included on the terror watch list have come to light, the new legal precedent of guilty until proven innocent has all but been established in the "land of the free". So why not force protesters who insist on expressing what they claim is "freedom of speech" to wear the Security Bracelet? If they step outside of their free speech zone - zap them! How about making everyone who attends a Presidential inauguration or speech wear the bracelet in the interests of national security? Since "crowd control situations" can easily be interchanged with "unauthorized demonstrations," why not force dissenters and undesirables to wear the bracelet so as to prevent civil unrest in times of national emergency? Why not go the whole hog and just tag babies from birth in order to combat violent crime and robbery? If a crime is in progress, the police could just activate the shock from a safe distance and save lives. The cost of enforcing any of these measures would of course be the complete and unmitigated death of any notion of liberty and freedom, but such concepts don't seem to concern advocates of the device.

I note with interest the verbiage of the You Tube piece that talks about "these criminals being neutralized without physical harm to allow them to stand trial." Excuse me, what happened to innocent until proved guilty? They reveal themselves as to who they are, what they intend, and how they thing with their own propaganda if one pays attention to it. The problem is, they work hard to keep people from becoming critical thinkers, and not many people see what a bad idea this thing is, and how it is a foot in the door to use this and measures like it on far more aspects of our lives to far more people them merely airline passengers.
The chip will come with MSBs (Maximum Socialist Benefits).
Correct. The chip will be farmed into existence by making it a prerequisite in populations with no means to object least they lose eligibility for their hank of stale bread and tin breadline soup. Count on it.
You can't even stand in the long lines for Government 'health'care without it. Let alone ever get treated.
Yeah, and there are pieces this week about "the difficult choices people face for cancer treatment because of the expense of medication and treatment protocols." The system is feeding the mantra of socializing people to realize there is a double standard for health care, and as lower class subjects/citizens they simply do not rate the best care, have to give in to the desires and measures the power elite wants them to accept if they get what they are able to get out of them to try to sustain health or life itself, and by doing so will hasten their collective demise as these measures make them easier to identify, quantify, categorize and ultimately control as well as you can with livestock with a nose ring.
In the Northern NAU Zone (formerly the sovereign nation of Canada), I believe it's a punishable offense to get private health care services, paid for on your own. Man oh mighty. Just leave me ALONE already!!

That reminds me I need to post that stuff about Real ID. It puts our national ID card under an umbrella with Canada and Mexico as well as creates a global face recognition data base.
