You do understand that the victims will not complain because they
will never see any evidence that the transmitter even exists, yes?
What will they have to complain about?

There will be no evidence.
(I may have forgotten to make that point.)

Evidence. <-- The victims will never see it.

Mr. FBI will never be involved. No crimes will be committed because
no law enforcement agency will ever be equipped to detect the
transmitter. Even if you grabbed Eliot Ness by the collar, lifted
a drop ceiling panel and smacked a yardstick on the rim of the
parabolic antenna:
1) He is not going to "officially" know what he's looking at.
2) If he does eventually understand what he is looking at, he can
reasonably point out that there is no law against that gear
in that place and that there is no evidence that it was used
illegitimately.
3) He may reasonably point out the lack of case law defining
microwave attack as 'assault'.
4) If pressed he will point out that the restaurant owner has every
right to defend himself against armed robbers.

This will not be just an 'uphill battle' for honest targets.

It will be impossible for them because no one will ever understand
that the transmitter is in place and being used immorally.

How so? Technically, a slightly larger antenna, higher
carrier frequency and a good sized amplifier are the changes
needed to my original outline. Dare I mention that multiple
transmitters could provide excellent coverage?

Legally, there is no prohibition against burning someone with
a microwave beam (for example).
It is not considered assault and perhaps never will be.

For grins just now, I Googled
("case law" "microwave burn" assault)
Got zero hits. That string is so unusual that it didn't even
show up in any 'word salad' harvesting site.

Logistically, a facilities installer working for cash on the side
could get a packaged system up and running within a couple hours
after arrival.

I would never do that because the transmitter will represent the darkest
side of human thought.

But mostly I feel that 'sunlight is the best disinfectant'.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I conclude that beginning on page 235 of a document you wrote,
you present some opinions regarding electromagnetics.

Good for you. :)

1) It won't be illegal. Nobody 'conspires' to install doorknobs, for example.
2) By the time legal status is determined, it will be considered a
necessary evil.

Thanks for helping me understand this issue.

Adey demonstrated that modulated non-ionizing radiation can

And a high GHz beam can be sufficiently spread limited with a

Resonance is not necessary. Dr. Adey showed that the

That isn't necessary or feasible largely due to the inverse cube
nature of magnetic power density.

A reference! Thank you!

You are out of your mind. The "nailer" is the disgrunteled employee

Not a myth, but a comic-book hero, and totally irrelevant here.

That may be your idea of a high profile case. People with a better

Stick somebody elses head in a microwave and disable the door safety
interlock, and you will find out that your action is considered both
immoral and in poor taste.

Drug dealers sell drugs that are grown and imported illegally. Your

Imaginary fact by invented misconception.
