Ata recent open house, officials
at the Sandia National Laboratories
demonstrated its latest Jaw enforce-
ment technology, including strobe
lights that make criminals disori-
ented and nauseous.

_ An efective device, but, Sandia
has not yet perfected eye shields to
immunize police officers from the
light. Also on display was a receiv-
er inside an officer's gun so he can
disable it if a criminal steals it, and
a gun that shoots: out a goo so
sticky (actually developed by a guy
named Tom Goolsby} that it com-
pletely immobilizes the target.
