Hey, the anti-terrorist truck is what goes around with the president’s limo =D discovery channel has a pretty good film on that ; ]
Oh, and the syringe thing, it was used in a movie and i can’t remember the title!

Wait a minute, in the Explosion Containment Net, why is the terrorist a hippie? I sense negative discrimination here. Not all hippies blow themselves up, frankly, I’d say none has.

OMG, the hippie. That’s the best. We know who that inventor thinks are the bad guys.

I think Barack Obama’s terrorist friend, Bill Ayers, might have been a hippie.

Well the truck kinda reminds me of the humvees with the gunner turret.
The ‘toilet suit’ is actually kinda neat, and is something I can use on the job.
The ventilation system on the airplane that gasses everyone unconscious is also an interesting concept, though as we all know it is highly unpredictable and dangerous as that massacre in the Russian theater proved.

Hasn’t Russia had missile trains for decades? Wikipedia shows prior art from 1969.

Of course I’m a noob when it comes to international patent law, so if we can go patent russian inventions, I call dibs on Tesla’s work.

What an ill-advised list. Most of these already are in production and are highly useful, the rest are actually good ideas.

Umm… no? Strapping every airline passenger with a syringe full of narcotics in case their HR/BP go above certain levels is not what I’d call a good idea.
A truck with a gun turret? Great for war, but name me one terrorist who has ever run around the streets of America with explosives strapped to them, screaming, “Shoot me! I’m totally about to blow some shit up!”
A railroad missile system? That just screams, “Steal me!” Besides, I see a train derail in the US about once a month. What if every time it happened, we had to worry about whether a NUCLEAR MISSILE had been stolen.
I could go on, but rest assured bean, while a few of these have some minor use, I doubt in my heart of hearts that anyone will ever be saved by an explosion containment net.

wasn’t the mobile rail-bound missile system already envisioned and nearly implemented as part of the MX Missile Program during the administration of the late great Ronald Reagan?

Instead of all these crap it is easier to left the medium east and stop killing people in other countries to steal their resources. Then we will discover who are the real terrorists.

What if a terrorist puts an IED in the toilet part of your bio-suit? Think people, think.

“Hasn’t Russia had missile trains for decades”
Hey! not the same thing at all, our trains carry intercontintal ballistic missles while theirs simply carry bombs.

Why does the net operator only have one leg? The first prototype must not have worked. And, I don’t think it is a hippie but rather a person asking for change.

Have you actually watched Under Siege 2: Dark Territory? Because I don’t think anyone would call that movie plot “great”.

I am guessing you should also add that there is no such thing as “knockout gas” outside of movies.

Actually, there is such a thing. The Russian OSNAZ team used it in the Moscow theater hostage crisis.

@Alex: Your partly right, I meant to imply a harmless way. The people coming out of the Moscow theater required a fair amount of treatment and are subject to chronic diseases as a result.
@Robin: N2O needs a fair concentration (the reason it is applied via an inhaler) and continuous application. Using it as a weapon wouldn’t work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide#In_medicine

Dillon Aero makes an SUV with a 7.62mm Minigun (electrically-driven Gatling Gun)called the “Q” Car, which very much resembles the “Anti-Terrorist Truck.” Great video of the “Q” in action on YouTube:

Alligators below the airplane trap door? Ridiculous. Venomous snakes! Wait, I want to patent this idea. Forget you saw this.

This is a prime example of how the patent system needs to be rebooted. *sighs*
I’m a government scientist by trade and it abhors me that there is very little in the way of technical/engineering analysis of these fantasies and implementation is another problem no one seems to think about. Not to mention the prior art.
Trap door on a plane? Hah! Everyone knows that there is a cubic butt-ton of empty space in the underbelly of a airliner. Surely we can squeeze a prison cell in there!
*Poster slaps forehead*
P.S. The feud between Tesla and Edison is an interesting read. It’s a shame the real geniuses aren’t backed by the J.P. Morgan money machine.

Bah, my “sarcasm” tags were stripped by the comment system. In case the batteries are low on anyone’s sarcasm detector, the third paragraph in my above post was meant with to be read as sarcastic prose.
Also, come on! A Kevlar net that will remain anchored to the ground during an approximately 100 atm (~1500 psi, 10 MPa) blast front? I don’t think so. You’d basically be adding more debris to be thrown about.
I mourn the death of scientific thought and reasoning. I suppose it’s for the best, really. It’s been suffering for such a long time.

Because hippies are terrorist wannabes thus are friends of terrorists so why not net them. Bonus: one less tree hippie.

Trap door on a plane? Snakes?? Why waste time with snakes? Just rig up another trap door to the outside world and drop the bad guys into the ocean from 35,000 feet

Why a pit under the trap door. Can’t it be a sluice. After the terrorist is trapped, the trap door closes and another trap door opens which forwards him outside. Have a good flight!

what great concepts, the bathroom in a suit is just funny, but I love the ’solid snake’ concept taking down the suicide bomber. notice how the bomber is some hippy with long hair, and some sort of headband, must be an old illustration when the government wanted to scare people away from those ‘free thinkers’.
