Dave,
  
A year or so a ago, I interviewed a man who was employed with the Dept. 
of the Army.  He discussed his involvement in the research and 
development of this type of device at a facility near DC.  At that 
time, he said there were quiet field tests being performed in New 
Jersey (if my memory is correct).  With a sad look on his face, he 
explained that the device can cause serious permanent injury to the 
passengers of the targeted vehicle.  He explained that the high energy 
microwave pulse can and does cause injury to human eye tissue, and the 
nervous system.  Despite this well known fact, he said they were 
determined to make this product available to law enforcement.  In his 
exact words "the thing really messes up anyone it's pointed at"
 
How long will it be before the lawsuits start rolling in?
