Hey, here's a great idea. You know all those unruly passengers on airplanes who theoretically pose a great security risk and could be terrorists and are just generally annoying? Well, as the ever reliable
Gizmodo points out, an inventor has come up with a way to nip this whole problem right in the bud: remote-controlled tranquilizer necklaces!
The diagram above displays a design for a deterrent against unruly behaviour during air travel. Essentially, the passenger would be required to wear the collar, which would be controlled remotely. If the said passenger were to shout like a sissy or do anything slightly alarming, the air marshal/steward/stewardess would panic and press the big red button. This would deploy tranquilizers via a syringe, directly into the offender's neck.
Right the fuck on. If this catches on, I can think of dozens, nay, zillions of events where this kind of contraption would be worthwhile. In particular, it'd be hilarious to see the townies who come to Burning Man on Friday before the burn equipped with such devices. Oh sure, we'd have to step over mounds of them over that weekend, but it'd be worth the extra effort, and we could paint them all turquoise blue just for the hell of it...
