"I’m no electrician, but the internet says the typical in-car power outlet puts out 120 watts at 12 volts. That seems slightly less than your typical home-made death ray would need– an amazing Google for “portable x-ray death machine” (suck on that NSA) points to Popular Science, who featured a portable x-ray unit safe enough to use at home that needed 75,000 volts. Of course the FBI stopped the death ray guys by sending undercover agents to them to promise aid and money if only they’d spill their secrets, which they did. Cost to the taxpayer is unknown. And yes Citizens, these are the people you’re supposed to trust with your personal data, phone calls and snooped emails. My biggest fear now is that the FBI will learn of my basement time machine, and send undercover agents pretending to have the flux capacitor I need to complete my work." - Peter Van Buren posting at the "We Meant Well" web log wemeantwell/blog/2013/06/21/fbi-stops-hilarious-nut-case-death-ray-terror-plot/
