Pentagon Wants Kill Switch For Planes
mytrip writes "The Pentagon's non-lethal weapons division is looking for technologies that could 'disable' aircraft, before they can take off from a runway — or block the planes from flying over a given city or stretch of land. The Directorate's program managers don't mention how engineers might pull off such a kill switch. But, however it's done, they'd like to have a similar system for boats, as well. They're looking for a device that can, from 100 meters away, 'safely stop or significantly impede the movement' of vessels up to 40 feet long, with 'minimal collateral damage.'"
Why commit one racist war-crime, when a better one presents itself!
"Flyin' in just a sweet place,
Never been known to fail..."
Umm, well killing tons of non-combatants purely because of their country of origin, yeah, that's pretty racist. That's not war, war is what happens between warriors, against military targets. The Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings were racially motivated terrorist attacks.
