Do you recall some post 9/11 entrepreneurs selling parachutes for high-rise office employees in case they needed to bail out? I was an employee for a large city for over 28 yrs and can assure you that when it comes to high-tech gizmos & gadgets, a slick salesman can easily sell the latest and greatest crap to not-too-sharp purchasing folks. And 99% of that stuff soon ends up collecting dust in storage areas---I've seen it over and over again. This laser gizmo is no different, but there will be police dept admin' people who convince city hall that they must have it (at great expense) "For public safety". Every time there's a new perceived threat, real or imagined, there's a host of manufacturers eager to sell a solution to any gullible buyer. And municipalities seem particularly vulnerable to buying useless toys. |
