At the same Air Force Research Laboratory in New Mexico, researchers
working with Raytheon Co. have developed a weapon called the Active
Denial
System, which repels adversaries by heating the water molecules in their

skin with microwave energy.  The pain is so great that people flee
immediately.

( Take apart your microwave!  And don't look down the waveguide with
your
remaining good eye! )

"It feels like your skin is on fire," said Rich Garcia, a spokesman for
the
laboratory who, as a test subject, has felt the Active Denial System's
heat.  "When you get out of the path of the beam, or shut off the beam,
everything goes back to normal.  There's no residual pain."

However, the blindness caused by boiling the liquid out of your eyes IS 
irreversable. But troops will be on "Scout's Honor" not to point such a 
weapon at anyone's face during riot conditions, just like the rubber 
bullets used in the 60s & 70s.
