    In a previous job I had some involvement with the Joint NonLethal Weapons Program, and was able to experience a table-top demonstration version of this device. It hurt like hell.

    And yeah, since we use it on our own troops in training (like waterboarding), it’s probably considered torture by Joe Biden.
