Have you seen the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film "The Running Man"? Hell yes, you have! Well, remember at the beginning Arnold's character Ben Richards is hanging out in prison after refusing to gun down some food rioters? All the prisoners wore collars that would deliver more than a shock if they moved beyond the "invisible fence" (decapitating explosion was what it was, actually.) Well now in the near future you'll be able to remember that scene while you wear a bracelet while flying commercial. The Consumerist (see feed to the right of this site's page) picked up on this article about a new bracelet that passengers can wear that not only holds your personal information, it can deliver an incapacitating shock if you get unruly or have brown skin. No word yet on if there will be a $15 fee for the bracelet or if said fee will be refunded if you're accidentally tazed when the air marshall digs in his pockets for a pen.
Speaking of flying and The Consumerist, here's another entertaining piece you should read.
