    That sounds like some shit straight out of Snowcrash. And then we got ICE buying a couple of robot dogs…

    “As part of Mr. Lee’s good neighbor policy, all Rat Things are programmed never to break the sound barrier in a populated area. But Fido’s in too much of a hurry to worry about the good neighbor policy. Jack the sound barrier. Bring the noise.”

    ― Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash

      Don’t forget the electric shock torture gloves that ICE recently ordered.

          It means anyone approached by a member of ICE who’s wearing gloves should fight like hell before they can be touched.
