[s-cars] Hardwired V1

[Ian Duff]

This sounds like the urban legend about where the Arizona State Trooper was
bored on radar patrol duty, and, finding himself near a flight corridor used
by the Air Force, hooked up on an incoming flight of F-16s. Their ECM
capabilities identified the sudden appearance of k-band radar as a threat,
and sent back a military-sized pulse, frying the cop's radar. Fast forward a
couple of hours to the wing CO's office, where he has just received a very
agitated senior State Police officer, complaining vehemently about the
destruction of his unit's radar gun. The wing CO politely pointed out how it
was good thing the F-16s were on a training hop, as they would otherwise
have had live ordnance, and such a sudden appearance of such a perceived
threat would surely have resulted in a multiple missile response, destroying
far more than just a radar gun, and that State Police officers should
probably limit their enforcement to terrestrial vehicles.

Awesome Mark!

Now we just need a way to shrink the apparatus to fit inside the trunk, have
the
emitter in front of the engine to shield the driver from the microwaves and
have a
faster recharge time.

I'd want EMP, not straight microwave, though- like what happens after a
nuclear
blast. That would completely knock out the non-hardened electronics in Mr.
Smokey's
car and you wouldn't have to worry about Mr. Smokey at all.

As for taking paint off the side and cooking hot dogs, that would be funny
as hell-
would give Mr. Smokey a good reason to get OUT of the car, no way you can
read
radar gun readings if you're running away. :-)
