62. Bulldozers and this:
BBC NEWS | Americas | US military unveils heat-ray gun

The US military has given the first public display of what it says is a revolutionary heat-ray weapon to repel enemies or disperse hostile crowds.

Called the Active Denial System, it projects an invisible high energy beam that produces a sudden burning feeling.

Military officials, who say the gun is harmless, believe it could be used as a non-lethal way of making enemies surrender their weapons.

Officials said there was wide-ranging military interest in the technology.

And yes, they would, because remember - they create their own reality now. It doesn't matter who the protesters are - it only matters what they get called. The T-word does wonders. "Enemy combatant" works miracles on public opinion, too.
