DHS Official Considered Shock Collars For Air Travelers 673

"The Washington Times is reporting that the DHS wants to replace your boarding pass with a GPS-enabled shock bracelet. Plans for the device include subduing passengers remotely as well as onboard interrogation. There's even a promotional video." Perhaps Paul Ruwaldt (the official named in this story) has been watching "The Coneheads" a bit too much, or not actually flying enough. Expressing interest is not quite the same as ordering mass quantities, but it's scary enough.

Chya, except for the part where "UK Government Can Demand You Hand Over Encryption Keys" reported last week. I know that's a different level, but we also don't have BB-esque security cameras watching us on every street corner, like London. So take your pick - corporate espionage or government? Both scary. By the way, did anyone check to see if this is actually a Verizon operated phone number? We could have just gotten data mined ourselves. Sounds like a new form of phishing could have just been born - a few forged documents and a Slashdot post and you've phished all of the techies who actually care. =)
