Radio Frequency Directed Energy Patent, Mind Scrambling
Adam Curry highlights U.S. Patent 7629918 B2, which describes a "multifunctional radio frequency directed energy system" capable of scrambling human thoughts. They discuss the implications of such technology being public and joke about building their own versions using Raspberry Pi or Arduino to use at political dinners.
The hosts express skepticism regarding the $90 billion "smart grid" initiative included in the economic recovery plan. Adam Curry suggests the grid is a surveillance tool that will allow the government to monitor and control individual household devices. They speculate that the technology could be used to remotely shut off power to political dissidents or critics of the administration.
