It looks like a big flashlight — but it's really a nonlethal weapon designed to make you sick.

Intelligent Optical Systems, Inc., of Torrance, Calif., has been granted a contract by the Department of Homeland Security to develop what it calls the "LED Incapacitator," according to a DHS online newsletter.

The handheld device using light-emitting diodes to emit super-bright pulses of light at rapidly changing wavelengths, causing disorientation, nausea and even vomiting in whomever it's pointed at.

Now THAT's special. You could really disrupt things by hiding backstage and playing this over the judges at an American Idol contest during your rival's performance.

I think what it does, is intermittently flash pictures of Rosie, Hillary & Helen Thomas.

At last, someone has developed a weapon I am probably immune to, since I am totally blind. Well, I’m not totally blind—I can probably still see a nuclear blast (but just for a moment) or the return of Christ (for eternity).

The post you linked to improperly changed the title of the acticle.

Until you close your eyes.

Better yet, replace the backing band's sheet music, causing them to play the "brown note."

‘rapidly changing wavelengths, causing disorientation, nausea and even vomiting’

Sounds like they just re-invented network TV.
