U. S scientists have unveiled details of a project that aims to develop Star Trek-style ray guns that could keep "security adversaries" out of DoE nuclear sites

The proposed new weapons being developed have been designated Active Denial Technology (ADT). And they are an emerging class of non-lethal weaponry using 95GHz millimeter-wave directed energy, vnu.com said.

According to the DoE, the technology is capable of rapidly heating human skin to a pain level that has been demonstrated as "very effective at repelling people" without apparently burning the skin or causing other secondary effects.

ADT emits a 95GHz non-ionizing electromagnetic beam of energy that penetrates approximately 1/64 of an inch into human skin tissue, where nerve receptors are concentrated.

Didn't they watch Enterprise? Everybody knows that the Vulcans have had this technology for years. All we have to do is ask them for it, and I'm sure they'll give it to us. Sheesh.

The Vulcans have had this technology for years? Hell, WE'VE had this technology for years. Although, this is the first I've heard of it being used for nuclear power security. I've only heard of it used for crowd control.
