My favorite high-tech riot control device was described to me by a friend who worked up at the National Labs at Los Alamos and who worked on the project. It was based on sound. The idea was that certain sounds, when amplified highly, have a proven effect on the human body. In particular, there is one low frequency that activates the anal sphincter. So the design for this weapon was a big cart full of amplifiers and speakers that you would roll out to the scene of any riot, turn it on, and beam this particular low frequency sound at the rioters, who would all shit their pants. Not a bad concept. I know that I would not particularly feel like continuing the protest if I had a big load in my drawers. Unfortunately (or fortunately, however you choose to see it), the idea never worked out in real life and the project was scrapped.
