What the Heck

Here's a real-life idea I remember seeing in the scifi movie Serentity: Defense researchers are "developing 'biological agents' -- including ones that can lead to 'inflammation of the brain, coma and death' -- for 'incapacitating' enemies on the battlefield or 'neutralizing hostile cities.' It's one of a number of head-scratching ideas University of Bradford researcher Neil Davison reveals in his new report, 'The Early History of 'Non-Lethal' Weapons.' (Two others: military-strength strobe lights and 'odor warfare.')" Great. Just what we need: a Middle East full of Reavers.
