Active Denial System

Agents Provocateurs, pepper spay, billy bats and riot gear. Now the police state has a new tool. Called the Active Denial System it is a high powered directional microwave beam that causes pain. From the video evidence it looks like the pain threshold is crossed almost immediately. From what I've read there is some concern of permanent damage if 'subjects' are given prolonged exposure to the beam. Beam weapons are now a reality one difference between the reality and the science fiction is that these weapons do not have any visible 'beam'. If you are being hit with an ADS beam and do not see the ADS weapon good luck trying to figure out where its coming from and how to get out of the way.
