Raytheon Introduces New Flash Gordon-style Ben-Gay Ray Gun

It's called the Active Denial System, and I'd like one for my next trip to the concession stand at Fenway; just watch all those people in front of you flee from the line.

From the press release:

    The Active Denial System emits a focused beam of millimeter wave energy that penetrates the skin to 1/64th of an inch, producing an intolerable heating sensation that causes targeted individuals to flee. The Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration program has conducted extensive human effects safety testing and extended user evaluations in field conditions.

It also bakes potatoes in 30 seconds or less.
