Pentagon allows DHS to test heat ray weapon at border
Original: Pentagon grants DHS permission to test heat ray weapon for use at border
The Pentagon has given the Department of Homeland Security permission to test an active denial system, a directed-energy weapon that heats the skin's surface to repel people without direct contact, for possible use along the US border. The decision is drawing criticism from civil liberties groups who call the technology dangerous and question deploying a crowd-control weapon against migrants.
Why now: The US government authorizing a military heat-based weapon for border use raises concerns about the militarization of immigration enforcement.
