#1 The Raytheon "swimmer denial" uses sound waves that are tuned to cause severe gastric distress in humans.

Hmmm, would the color of the noise depend on which end of the gastric system it distresses? We've already got the "brown noise" via South Park - although my wife thinks a low altitude supersonic B-1 pass would be a better candidate for a brown noise.

#5 Maybe I'm old fashioned, but the scuba masks we use only cover forehead to below the nose, not the mouth itself. I've seen full-face masks, but only on television, worn by the fearless something-or-other to explain what he and the camera man are looking at. With the kind of mask I use, throwing up is annoying, and attracts the wrong kind of fishy attention, but wouldn't fill the mask with ickyness.

#6 Not the mask gets filled, but the regulator. Then you rip it out of your mouth. Then you rolf. Then you inhale. I wouldn't want to try to rolf underwater or clean the regulator out afterward and get it back into my mouth without inhaling..
