  1. Won't work in the US by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I can see this system working in Japan where the average citizen is thin and healthy, I cannot see it working in the United States.

    While the sounds might travel well through a Japanese person's hand, it is a sad fact that the hand of the average American is obese. By the time the sound would reach their ear, it would be completely distorted by having to travel through so much body fat.
