Dr_Ken's Journal: Good news: Taser proof clothing. Bad news? Its only for cops

From CNet comes news that an engineered fabric that neutralizes the effect of tasers has been developed. Too bad only cops can buy it though.

"Thor Shield is a polyester fabric bonded to a conducted material that effectively loops the electricity coming from a nonlethal electricity weapon back to the weapon.

'If you are hit, the Taser gun won't work,' said Greg Schultz, co-owner of G2 Consulting in Tucson, Ariz., which invented Thor Shield. 'We return the voltage back to the gun.'

Tasers and other electricity weapons work by jolting a person's body with enough electricity to overwhelm their neuromuscular system. When fired, a Taser launches two probes, connected to the gun by wires. When the probes hit a person's body, they create a circuit and 50,000 volts that pass through an individual's system." link here
