"A new RFID-based safety could help prevent department-issued firearms from being used against police officers. TriggerSmart, a start-up based in Ireland, uses off-the-shelf radio components to identify and authenticate the shooter handling the gun; if the shooter is the wrong person, the gun will not fire."
"The idea for TriggerSmart's design comes from Patrick O'Shaughnessy, who read about a police officer whose issued gun was taken from him and used against him. ..." ... -------

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
