Psychotronic Pain Ray Heading for LA

It could soon get a lot hotter in LA. The Los Angeles County Sheriff is apparently looking at the Active Denial System, a directed energy weapon that created a burning sensation, for possible use in the City of Angels: Charles "Sid" Heal stands excitedly in the parking lot of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's station in San Dimas, tinkering with a prototype for the ominously named "Active Denial System." With one zap from what looks like a satellite dish on a tripod, those within target range feel a burning sensation on their skin.
