It has emerged that Pittsburgh police used an "audio cannon" dubbed the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), manufactured by the San Diego-based American Technology Corporation (ATCO), against protesters at the G-20 Summit [2]—the first time the device has been used on civilians in the US. "Yes, we sold one LRAD unit to a government agency—I don't know which one—which was used in Pittsburgh," said an ATC sales representative. (Daily Finance [3], Sept. 25) The LRAD has also recently been used against protesters in Honduras [4].
