I told people it was only a matter of time before you saw it used in prisons and probably in other confined places where violence might break out and you’ll want to put people down with minimum violence (e.g., banks).

My question is, when will the first person be trapped in a place where they can turn this thing on and keep the person cooking? And who will be the first to do such a thing? Chain someone to a chair, put them in a jail cell or a pit, whatever, then turn it on and leave it on for an extended time. That’s torture.
