Will TSA Taser Bracelets Stage a Comeback?
The next absurd outrage from Big Government’s TSA may be Taser bracelets:
In 2008, the Washington Times reported on how DHS official Paul S. Ruwaldt of the Science and Technology Directorate, office of Research and Development, wrote to Lamperd Less Lethal, Inc. indicating that the Department of Homeland Security was ready to purchase devices from the company that would be used to deliver incapacitating shocks to airline passengers, all of whom would be mandated to wear the taser bracelet once they checked in for their flight.
The so-called “safety bracelet,” also known as the Electronic ID Bracelet, was designed to replace a boarding pass and be capable of tracking the passenger through the airport by means of GPS technology. The device would also contain details about the passenger and their flight plans.
The primary function of the device was to allow airport officials and flight crews to deliver an incapacitating electric shock to travelers by means of Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD), completely immobilizing the individual for minutes. The bracelet would be worn by all travelers until they disembarked at their location. The patent for the device admits that all passengers could be incapacitated if the devices are activated.
Numerous government agencies expressed interest in the Taser bracelet, which would also have interrogation applications.
Following a wave of negative publicity, the DHS pulled the plug on its interest in the torture bracelet, and Lamperd Less Lethal, Inc. set about removing the letters from Ruwaldt it had previously proudly displayed on its website.
However, given that the TSA is already doling out punishments for people who do not display the proper level of obedience, by either preventing them from flying, stealing their cash, or simply punching them in the balls, how far away are we from the hideous idea of the taser bracelet being resurrected? …
Imagine a TSA goon not only having the power to squeeze your junk if you so much as look at them the wrong way, but also having the capability to deliver an electric shock to anyone who speaks out of turn.
Theoretically, the bracelets could also be used in systematic desensitization brainwashing. For example, Joseph Wolpe conditioned animals’ attitudes with electric shocks. We can’t achieve utopia until after our wise and benevolent rulers have cured humanity of incorrect views.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Oh, great. So now, in addition to having a full deisel bull dyke sqeezing my foobie (breast cancer prosthetic–false boobie=foobie), she(it)can zap me if I grimace in disgust.
Last time I flew the TSA went over my Easy Spirit sneakers with a fine tooth comb and pulled me out of line. I am a 64 year old grandmother for God’s sake! My husband’s name must be on some sort of warning list–he is a 67 year old veteran who always wears his American Legion post baseball cap–but he keeps getting pulled out of line for extra scrutiny. This has happened both in AND outside the USA. Gives me the creeps. Meanwhile, Mohammed and 3 of his cloaked, veiled, and masked wives sail right on through.
Things that make you go “Hmmmmm.”
Though, I must admit that when going through customs on a trip to Tahiti the agent who processed our passports thanked my husband for his service. I guess there is still hope.
Meanwhile, shocking convicted murderers and child molesters has been deemed “cruel and unusual” by the ACLU’s legions of bleeding heart moonbat lawyers.
The Ministry of Love makes use of this technology very effectively. It made me love Big Daddy. Well, that and a trip to Room 101.
Do they come in designer colors? What if they don’t have one that matches my eyes??
Good God it’s like we’ve turned into a cheesy movie.
Or, more aptly, a mockery of a cheesy movie.
I can see a Chomo TSA “agent” put a shock bracelet on a 83 year old vet in a wheelchair and a colostomy bag.
But don’t dare profile a shifty-eyed muzzy.
When Muslims complained that the TSA searches were too invasive, the TSA changed their procedures and sent their agents to “sensitivity training”.
When Americans complained that the TSA searches were too invasive, the TSA issued a statement saying that if Americans did not like it, they should not fly.
I propose shock collars for TSA Agents!
Can you be forced to wear a weapon?
easy fix. let ccw holders carry on the plane. disband the tsa.
trial run for putting them on the general public
Momster, I treat the airport nowadays like a black op insertion. I don’t wear any of my veteran insignia, that marks you as a “domestic terrorist” for TSA.
Just be glad they arent expressing interest in exploding neck collars!
Three thoughts:
If these bracelets are good enough for the subjects to wear around the airport, why not have the subjects wear them 24/7? (Camera and sound will be in Braclet 2.0)
Do you remember the explosive necklaces that the convicts wore in “Running Man?”
If these bracelets are such a good idea, why don’t we have the guys wearing ankle bracelets because they are on parole/under indictment, etc., wear these items.
And a fourth question:
These bracelets sound like a great idea. Politicians and bureaucrats first!!! Head of TSA should start wearing one today, along with Janet, Eric, Valerie, etc. I’d prefer the shock on external command option, too, where the citizens can give them a jolt if they misbehave.
Through social media,this would be possible.Start a DO NOT FLY LIST OF OUR OWN!
Here is what I propose for those who Have to fly…each month everybody switch carriers and boycott one certain carrier.These airlines are so highly leveraged,they will suck some serious wind while viewing their empty terminals.This will help to put some heat on the Touch,Squeeze,Assault group.
They will understand bottom line stuff.
Wow! Great technology! It should be mandatory that all, I mean ALL government employees and elected “officials” wear these things. Especially the executive branch. Only I want to see full-blown shock collars (not little bracelets) on Barry and his drunk and obnoxious little vp.
Also, put the things on everyone who is on welfare.
Who would hold the button to send a jolt? Why, taxpayers, of course.
Looks like Sam and I think alike.
These bracelets sort of remind me of an old (Shatner) Star Trek episode where the crew members found themselves on a planet with a “collar of obedience” around their necks and forced to participate in gladiator-like exhibitions.
That, and electrict “fenceless” dog collars that shock the dog if it tries to cross the property line.
It will be training to “don’t cross the line.”
Maybe the government should experience this–”DONT CROSS THE LINE.”
Remember in November!
Fed up.
Flying is no longer on my ‘to do’ list. I’ve realized that this is exactly how people are desensitized into doing all sorts of objectionable things including wearing shock bracelets (it’s only jewelry for our own good right?). All the while, the ones who caused all of this are exempt from the security maul because they worship allah (the real moon god). The way I see it is, if eveyone said NO to this garbage, they can’t put us all in jail.
I’m with Momster. I see no reason why we aren’t moving in the direction of the Collar of Obedience.
One can only hope we maintain a high degree of “untrainability“
The movie “A Clockwork Orange” looks less and less like fiction as the years go by.
Hmm…so I’m just wondering how these things work. How are they activated? If one person gets out of line, does everyone on the plane get knocked on their ass or just the offender? How would one passenger be singled out from 299 others? I done flying so they can kiss my rosette, but this kind of crap is clearly a violation of the fourth amendment and needs to be put down.
I refuse to wear one. Americans need to STOP FLYING for 30 days to teach the airlines and airports a lesson. THEY can boot the TSA out and opt for private security.
“Evidence of the ol’ glassies! Nothing up our sleeves, no magic little Alex! A job for two who are now of job age! The police!”
Great. I have enough trouble sleeping already. Threads like this make it worse, but it’s necessary. If this crap is going on it is necessary to know about it. I don’t fly, but it’s only a matter of time before this kind of police state mentality reaches out after little people like me who just want to be left alone.
This is nothing that a MASSIVE BOYCOTT of all airlines won’t cure.
