#3 I saw some coverage on this thing on Discovery; the operator barely hears a thing; it's a highly focused sound projector. If I recall correctly, you don't even have to worry about echoes.

#6 Could there be a market out there for smaller, personal sized, units like these? You know, for use against the kid with the boom box on his shoulder, or the car with the mega-watts base turned all the way up. Not to mention the guy behind you who hits the horn before the light turns green. Just a thought...

#7 Broadcasting Dean through the device would create the "Brown Noise" harmonics referred to in "South Park". Everyone within 500 meters would crap their pants.

#8 emit a piercing tone so excruciating to humans that it causes crowds to disperse, clears buildings and repels intruders

Must be the new Moby song

#9 Just fly a pair of F-111s over at full throttle, then hit the AB and stand the birds straight up. Between the noise and the backblast, half the people will be on their knees, and the rest suffering from excruciating headaches. The fact that the birds can come in at 50 feet, totally unannounced, and THEN pull this maneuver, makes certain that a large percentage of the crowd will have one objective - go home and change their stained undergarments.

I have one suggestion: combine it with a laser-light show and project some 80-foot Marines coming over the barrier. Might as well do this right...

#11 Dial that baby to Slim Whitman level 3 and let there be peace on earth (and Mars).
