Here in Israel we’re amazed by the exploding pagers and exploding radios of the last two days, in terms of the technological and logistical abilities, not to mention the chutzpa, of carrying it off. And of course we’re laughing at all those terrorists whose attempts to avoid the possible pitfalls of the digital age have left them…digitless. Lots of memes going around, like the one below. (Watch this clip if you didn’t grow up watching American TV and don’t get the joke.)
But you have to wonder, What’s next? Sure, maybe Nasrallah will come to his senses…or maybe not.
My candidate for the next thing to use, if necessary, is the device disclosed in US 9052175: looks like a bullet, but it’s loaded with a toxic agent, so the shooter pulls the trigger and poof! He’s poisoned!
Added bonus: it’s suitable for use by both Hizbullah AND Hamas. And since the patentee only filed in the USA, no fear of patent infringement for using this invention in Lebanon or Gaza! That’s what we patent people call a win-win.
Suggestion to the terrorists: don’t buy your ammunition from Benzi’s Bullet Bazaar.
