These Gadgets Could Get You Arrested

by Evan Shamoon on September 4, 2008 at 08:01 PM



In an odd bit of tech trivia, Wired has compiled a list of gadgets that could get you arrested (other than your Hannah Montana iPod dock, naturally). The entries range include the WASP knife -- designed to aid you against undersea predators like sharks and manta rays through a combination of a very sharp blade and the ability to deploy 800-psi blasts of compressed freezing gas into its target -- to the Lil' Buttie, which allows you to easily tap a phone line.

Our favorite gadget on the list, however, has to be the Sonar II Burner. Developed by the best-named company in the history of companies, Wicked Lasers, the Sonar II is just that: a more powerful version of the lasers found in Blu-ray players, the laser machine can burn holes through paper and melt plastic.

And really, what more can you ask for in a tech story? Sharks with freaking laser beams attached to their heads?

Perhaps. [From: Wired]
