"A senior government official with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has expressed great interest in a so-called safety bracelet that would serve as a stun device, similar to that of a police Taser®. According to this promotional video found at the Lamperd Less Lethal, Inc. website, the bracelet would be worn by all airline passengers"
I wonder how many travelers would willing wear one?

A few years ago, I would have asked how many travelers would be willing to be groped and scanned and robbed at the airport. I got my answer. I'm sure you'll have yours soon enough.
Rita,
Unfortunately, I think that answer will be many rather than few.
I can just hear people saying “If you don’t do anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about…”
From the article:
'The Electronic ID Bracelet, as it’s referred to, would be worn by every traveler “until they disembark the flight at their destination.” '
And at some point they will say, "Just leave it on. For the children."
How can we stop them treating us like cattle, when so many people go, "Moo"?
I keep hoping for random cavity searches, just to see if people will put up with that too.
