My husband says, "Wow, can we get one of those for

In Japan (I'm currently in Tokyo), the general consensus seems to be
that she's a slightly kooky breed of that ubiquitous Japanese breed
the eccentric backyard inventor. The analyses in the local english
language press is treating this more as an indication of how people
are overreacting to sensational press coverage (of violent crimes)
than any indication of either a real need or a viable solution. They
point out that violent crime in Japan is actually dropping, not
increasing, public perception notwithstanding.
Just because there's a product, doesn't mean it's necessary. I
laughed, and bemoaned the state of peoples's psyches that they
felt so
insecure that they thought this might be something useful.
If it had been in the US, I would have said it was a hoax.
