Don't taze me stewardess

According to this article on the Washington Hotlist the Department of Homeland Security has had it's interest peaked by a device invented by Canadian law enforcement consultant Barry Lampered. The device is called an Electro-muscular Disruption bracelet that the DHS wants to force on airline passengers. In essence this bracelet would allow flight crews to tazer unruly passengers.

I have to say, this may be the most invasive tactic I have ever heard of in relation to the DHS. Warrantless wiretapping is one thing, but giving a flight attendant the ability to immobilize me for being unruly is unconscionable. At least if the DHS is wiretapping my phone some poor bureaucrat is being bored to death while listening to me talk to my parents about my son's latest ear infection.
