Pained approach

The technology will no doubt have a military application before long, but while they're still conducting reviews, the manufacturers are seeking more, non-military applications for their "pain beam"! So if you're looking for a home protection system which would cause burning pain without injury - the Active Denial System may be for you. The system's microwaves penetrate a fraction of an inch of the skin of intruders who won't be able to cope with the beam for more than five seconds - regardless of what they're wearing. (I think I read somewhere that a full suit of amour - everyone has one don't they? - could be an effective safeguard.)
