That is why I am glad I live in a state that upholds the right to open-carry a sidearm. Why hide it? Keep it in the open for all to see as a deterant.
Malaria Vaccine, Via Mosquito 178
CodeShark writes "The AP is reporting that mosquitoes have been used for the first time to deliver anti-malarial vaccine through their bites. According to this article the results were crystal clear: 100% of the vaccinated group acquired immunity, everyone in the non-vaccinated control group did not. Those in the control group and developed malaria when exposed to the parasites later, the vaccinated group did not. Malaria kills nearly a million people per year, mostly children."

If it is legal to put these on any cars, what about when they figure out they can also use them to:
- Track habitual speeders (just review the logs and issue the tickets)
- Failure to failure to stop at a Stop Sign (unless speed=0, you are guity)
- Driving outside work hours (for those who are driving under a work permit)
- Finding and then following habitual drunk drivers
- Track suspected stalkers

Comment I was in the Navy... (Score 1) 830
In the Navy (stopping singing the song!) every person was trained for "damage control". We needed to know how to quickly get to the nearest fire station and deploy the fire hose and be ready to combat a fire. Now, you may not understand the power of a 2.5 inch firehose as you have not seen one in action. They are manned by more than one person for a good reason (this is only a 1.5 inch hose).
I for one would not want to be trying to climb a rope ladder with someone shooting water at me from one of these.
Also, if you have never seen the inside of a ship the walls and ceilings are lined with electrical cables, piping (high pressure air, fuel, hydraulic lines, and of course sewage!) that would be easily ruptured by an errant bullet. That is why many sailors are taught to shoot someone by ricocheting the buckshot off the floor to diminish the damage caused by the bullets that do not find the proper target.

How about a replaceable back seat area as well. Swap the batteries and back seat. Once gets charged the other cleaned.
