Thought it was interesting - it doesn't seem too 'non-lethal'. . .

It fires an electromagnetic beam that makes people feel as if they are about to catch fire.

Cool. I mean hot.

Er, Yeah.

Still wasn't "lethal"

But did cause injury which is isn't supposed to.

1 out of 10k+ exposures was the only injury according to article. Seems more likely you'd get seriously hurt from a beanbag than that...

Ya, it seems non-lethal... lethal means you die. He was just burned, though it didn't say how badly (a second-degree burn on a tiny area isn't that big of a deal...)
