Hardware Hackers Create a Cheaper Bedazzler

Posted by timothy on from the just-in-time-for-trick-or-treaters dept.

ptorrone writes "Hardware hacker extraordinaires Ladyada (Adafruit Industries) and Phil Torrone (of MAKE magazine) have just published an open source 'Homeland Security' project, a non-lethal LED-Based Incapacitator: THE BEDAZZLER. After attending a conference where the $1 million 'sea-sick flashlight' (THE DAZZLER) was demoed by Homeland Security, the duo decided to created an under-$250 version, and just released the source code, schematics and PCB files. The team also released a 5 minute video describing the 'official version' as well as how they created the 'open source hardware' version."

    Yeah, you're absolutely right. The retired cops can be pretty nice people, can't they?

    Fuck every living police officer on the face of the fucking earth, they're all undeserving pigs who have been given more power than is their due and they take more and more for themselves each day.

    ...And maybe mobile phones fry your brain.

    We're talking about a noise from a small horn speaker that is annoying through being repetitive, not the noise from a heavy rock band's speaker stack or a jumbo jet. Get a grip.
