While Orwell Continues to Roll In His Grave...

Want some torture with your peanuts?

A senior government official with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has expressed great interest in a so-called safety bracelet that would serve as a stun device, similar to that of a police Taser®. According to this promotional video found at the Lamperd Less Lethal website, the bracelet would be worn by all airline passengers.
This bracelet would:
• take the place of an airline boarding pass
• contain personal information about the traveler
• be able to monitor the whereabouts of each passenger and his/her luggage
• shock the wearer on command, completely immobilizing him/her for several minutes
The Electronic ID Bracelet, as it’s referred to as, would be worn by every traveler “until they disembark the flight at their destination.”

Yes, you read that correctly. Every airline passenger would be tracked by a government-funded GPS, containing personal, private and confidential information, and that it would shock the customer worse than an electronic dog collar if he or she got out of line.
If you don’t have anything to hide, why not wear an eletroshock bracelet? They’re attractive, convenient, and if you don’t think it’s a good idea than you hate America, you hate our law enforcement authorities and want to deny them the tools they need to KeepuSafe™, and you want the terrorists to win.

Bonus: Just wait until you get hit with the $10 fuel surcharge for the added weight of your electroshock bracelet.
We are now officially the dumbest, most destructive fucking country on the planet.
