Useful not just for TSA but also FEMA branch of DHS. Imagine the nicely compliant subjects of most any disaster - like Katrina or California wildfires. There'd be no refusals, no resistance - no guns...
If the government institutes this for normal passengers (as opposed to prisoners being transported), I shall never fly again. There are far too many "just track and control the population" fake solutions being proposed. I'm glad to see that DHS is denying the idea for all passengers.

This will solve the airlines fuel problems: no passengers - no need for fuel. Can't you just see the panic stricken stew pressing the button as she sweeps the gadget across three or four rows of passengers, aiming for the perp? How many geezers like myself will have fatal arythmias and die from a missed 'shot'? Since they'll end up made in Mexico by Guatemalan scab workers; how many will misfire on the elderly, the ill and others that can't handle the shock? Stun guns kill, this should be different? I showed this to my spouse and we agree. Bracelets=no fly. No matter how they spin it.

First airlines, then schools, hospitals, sports gatherings, borders. It will be the American CITIZENS who get these things, NOT the illegals. One more example of the fascism impending http://www.squidoo.com/american-fascism and we will ALL live to regret these things. I wonder when the MILITARY will decide what its TRUE DUTY is? Will it end this fascistic governmental control or will it do its duty to the Constitution? That will be the day when our future, if we even have one, is clear.
I'm embarrassed that some company from Toronto is making these things. Has the world gone mad? They don't even do that to prisoners. Why don't they just strap everyone into a restraint chair after they board the airline, oh yea also put a diaper on anyone that flys.

I din't propose the idea.
We don't need to worry about terrorists turning the country into a police state -- we're doing it to ourselves. When it's all said and done, we'll have given away the Constitution and Bill of Rights, one word, one phrase, and one sentence at a time, and all the while applauding ourselves for having done so.
I don't even use a shock collar for my dog. Why in the world would I consent to wear one?
It's time to exercise our constitutional rights. The second amendment is not limited by altitude. The only function TSA should have is to assure that each passenger who wishes to be armed is properly armed. If the flights involved in the September 11 IBM (improvised ballistic missle) attacks were filled with armed passengers there may have been a gun battle, but I doubt it. I do know that none of those plains would have slammed into the targets chosen by the terrorists.
Congress get off your collective asses and give us our country back.
I work for DHS, not by choice but by an act of congress. This organization could not empty sand out of a boot if the instructions were written on the sole.
I think that people need to stop being so absorbed in the fact that this product could potentially shock them, and start focusing on the benefits of this device in the event of a terrorist situation. It was not developed to be used if a passenger is snoring too loudly or has consumed too much alcohol and is being unruly, but to protect the average citizen in the event of an attempted hijacking. Being self rightious has never been so self depricating.
