There's more evidence that the Saakashvili regime in Georgia is
using sound weapons against opposition protestors. This English-language footage from
Russia Today shows riot police rolling through the streets of Tblisi in pickup trucks, small dishes in hand. A high frequency pulse follows."Georgian police used an acoustic gun-it's a non-lethal weapon that disorients people for a period of time," says one "special weapons expert." "Similar such guns are also used by the Iraq police," the Russia Today piece claims. That, I'm not so sure about. But the sonic systems-which can also be used as a long-range "hailer," projecting sound far, far away-have been tested out by
American troops in Iraq. They were employed by the New York Police Department during the last
Republican National Convention and by military police during
Hurricane Katrina. A cruise ship even used a sonic blast to
ward off Somali pirates in '05.Reader TM points out that short-range versions of the same technology can be
bought online-for as little as $898 a pop.
