LRADS can be defeated with earbuds and metal music.

Just read the police in Hawaii used one to break up a native protest at a burial ground due for condo development. The organizer clarified that the LRAD was used like a super-loud bullhorn. Not as a weapon. I suspect they're pretty much useless as a crowd control tool if the crowd is prepared.

Next up... Subsonic weapons. The band Devo had the right idea when they suggested they were going to do a show with hyped-up subsonics, hand out diapers at the door, and make the concertgoers shit their britches.

IMAGINE the demoralizing effect on protesters with their pants full.
