use of this as a torture device is not the big problem. powers already have plenty of ways to torture people that dont leave marks.

the larger problem is some powers want to prohibit, shut down, and hide from the media all protest. if conditions worsen, protestors and powers will get more serious on both sides, serious enough that the protestors will be willing to risk injury or death to show the world they care. but not if they are getting heat rayed. they can all get spanked and sent home with minimal news coverage.
GHANDI WAS A VERY VIOLENT MAN ! the people need the ability to use the govts violence against them to change the world, the way ghandi did.
an example of govt hiding protest: the republi-con in nyc for bush ii round II, the city didnt want to arrest all the protestors cos no room in jail, but the repubs rented a pier to use as an impromptu jail and bloombergs cops arrested everyone, including people in sidewalk cafes taking pics of the demos and arrests and they separated all the media items in peoples personal affects, which is of course not normal. why? of course to capure any images they didnt want ciruclated. success. the story barely ran for lack of footage and everyone with a loud voice being locked up for three days(!) but they arrested several 1,000 peaceful protestors early and convention reporting hardly mentioned it.
