We have seen useful anti terrorism inventions such as the anti IEDs military vehicles and even a new form of micromanagement of troops in the hot zones of Iraq and Afganistan.
However, where there may be smart ideas, there is inevitably stupid and strange ones, which we will cover in this post.
This article originated from Neatorama’s blog.
I’ll just feature some of the more interesting ones.
Anti-Terrorism Truck
Problem: Terrorists can pop up at any time, leaving local authorities totally defenseless against their raging attacks.
Solution: When terrorists walk past this non-descript truck parked quietly on the street, its roof pops out to reveal a machine gun turret! If that doesn’t strike fear into the heart of Jihadis, well … then we can still mow ‘em down!
nbnl’s comment: So, terrorists always surprises us, and now we want to give them surprises? cool.
Biohazard suit’s inbuilt Toilet
Problem: You got to wear a biohazard suit to protect against biological or chemical weapons … but as soon as you put it on, you really gotta go!
Solution: A biohazard suit with a built-in toilet! Just squat a little bit and go.
nbnl’s comment: In the military, there are drills to pass motion in a biohazard suit already. This might be a great idea, and a stupid one because it might suffocate you first before the poisonous gas kills you.( if there is a slight defect in the inbuilt toilet).
Dog’s Earphone
Problem: It’s well known that Al Qaeda terrorists hate dogs, but how do you tell the animals to get to these dirty SOBs if they can’t hear you? (You being a far away, of course, preferably in the safety and comfort of a bunker.)
Solution: a custom-fitting earpiece for dogs so they can receive verbal instructions remotely.
nbnl’s comment: Eh, i didn’t realise dogs know human speaks, do they?
Airplane Sleeping Gas System
Problem: Terrorists are almost successful in breaking down the cockpit door…
Solution: Gas ‘em! Here’s a system that puts incapacitating gas into the plane’s ventilation system. After everyone’s knocked unconscious, the pilot can land the plane and let the police deal with the hijackers.
nbnl’s comment: Won’t be terrorist be ready to take control of the cockpit before revealing themselves? I am all for the idea of a cute air stewardess lying on me though.
Explosion Containment Net
Problem: Suicide bombers may detonate their bomb and kill a lot of people.
Solution: It may look like an umbrella, but that’s actually a kevlar net fired from a special gun to encapsulate and contain a bomb’s blast. The net also contains a tube for dispensing fire suppressant agent (the tank is worn on the back of the net operator in Figures 6 and 7 above).
nbnl’s comment: Do we need to have a Marksman test for this? If a shot is missed, it might mean great consequence.
Mobile Crematorium
Problem: When all effort to prevent a large scale act of terrorism failed and the body count of victims is high, then something is needed to get rid of the bodies …
Solution: A mobile crematorium - basically a combustion chamber on wheels.
nbnl’s comment: Good idea, but we need some serious respect for victims and their families.
