Weapons in School: Zero Tolerance

[casimendocina]

I was watching the The men who stare at goats a couple of nights ago, then followed up by checking out the website of the book it was based on. According to the author's website, the military in this particular section have a weapon which looks perfectly harmless (like a bottle opener from what I could see), but can be used for a myriad of pain inducing techniques including twisting fingers and more worryingly inserting it into someone's ear canal which leaves no visible damage, but causes a huge amount of pain. I'm guessing this kind 2nd one could easily be done with a pencil or pen as well...I don't think this generation would be the first to use their writing implements as weapons.
