Re: USAF publishes safety manual for death rays
Excellent 
I liked the phrase about finding a way to "terminate the beam at the end of it's path" - whoever wrote that can't have the slightest inkling of what he was asking. It would involve finding a way to cheat some of the most fundamental laws of nature. It's almost the same as suggesting it would be nice if the US air forces next fighter had interstellar drive and a cloaking device

I kinda figured that was more akin to Cooper's Fourth Rule.

Isn't that already being done, I mean by definition of the end of its path IS already terminated, otherwise it wouldn't be the end, right?Highspeed wrote:"terminate the beam at the end of it's path"

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
