Instead of using their patent, start from scratch and see how long it takes you. And speaking of patents, the nice lady has basically admitted she copied the device out of someone's issued (and presumably enforceable patent). Depending on what the granted claims cover, I imagine it would be VERY hard for her to avoid a finding of willful infringement. Oh, and potentially contributory infringement, since she's encouraging others to do the same. Two comments:

Will human kind adopt the saying "We won't stop until they are drowning in their own..." you get the idea. On a serious note, should these be used to stop rioters, but who is to blame when someone with epilepsy chokes to death on their tongue due to one of these being flashed in their face? Other then this issue... yay science! Will future wars be fought with these? Will human kind adopt the saying “We won’t stop until they are drowning in their own…” you get the idea.
