Israeli WMD: weapon of mass dispersion

Check this out: Israel once again turns science fiction into technological reality, developing -- and this week, USING -- "a device that emits penetrating bursts of sound that leaves targets reeling with dizziness and nausea".

In seeking effective ways to disperse violent demonstrations, or as they say, "overcoming resistance without resorting to force," the Israeli military has come up with a device that targets the inner ear and makes remaining in the vicinity a very unpleasant option.

According the Associated Press, "The army employed the new device, which it dubbed 'The Scream,' at a recent violent demonstration by Palestinians and Jewish sympathizers against Israel's West Bank separation barrier.

"Protesters covered their ears and grabbed their heads, overcome by dizziness and nausea, after the vehicle-mounted device began sending out bursts of audible, but not loud, sound at intervals of about 10 seconds."
