Heh...  interesting article.  I wonder if anyone's ever used one of those
laser target designators slaved to a full motion camera.  I can just imagine
a perp's surprise when he sees one of those bright red dots on the front of
his jacket and someone yells "freeze" over a loudspeaker.  An even better
"dot" would be the one they used on the "Preditor" movies.

Coroner:  Yep...  it's definitely a heart attack.

Sheriff:  Tsk!  I wonder what brought that on.  Doesn't look like he was
running or anything.
