If you are politically active and go to a lot of public demonstrations,
don't
bring cellphones, videocams,
mp3 players, etc., as a new police crowd control devices shoots a plasma
cloud
at the crowd to be subdued. It will probably "fry" them, but tube radios
should
easily survive. It can even stop cars.

the look for story on "Sweeping stun guns...."

Gee I guess this means that tinfoil hats are finally obsolete.

(You can of course carry a spray bottle filled with salty
water which is both very conductive and ionic. Spray a mist
in front of you and the plasma cloud will take the path of
least resistance to ground, leaving you un-affected......)
