I have developed a bio-chemical anti-terrorist device called the”Gas Attack Filter” for use in the U.S.A and am looking for someone (across the pond) to help develop, produce and market. Are you interested

Biohazard Suit with Built-In Toilet

I dont think Potential Complication would be wiping the back… This is because the specification reads, “the waste collector has interior portions which are soft to serve as toilet tissue”

The potential complication that I see is that the suit is typically for males… Females wearing it cant use it to dispose urines as their phisiology is differently modelled!!

Why don’t we nuke terrorist countries like Pakistan and end this all at once. Now it has been proven that Pakistan government helps terrorist camps. They also are making an Islamic bomb against western countries.

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’.

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!

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

Hey Jessie

Thanks for the anti-terrorism bra idea. I added anti-terrorism panties and now have a patent pending.

Best

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

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.

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.

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:

@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

@DeLukas: 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.

Here’s the actual patent on the incapacitating gas… it seems to be the only one with some potential beyond comedic value!

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

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.

Hey! not the same thing at all, our trains carry intercontintal ballistic missles while theirs simply carry bombs.

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.

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.

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