Report: Federal Officials Considered Using 'Heat Ray' On Protesters

The transcript discusses the use of a heat ray, a crowd control device, during protests outside the White House in June. National Guard Major Adam de Marco testified about a military inquiry into the availability of the heat ray and a long-range acoustic device. The heat ray, also known as an active denial system, emits a beam causing a burning sensation and is considered non-lethal. It remains unclear if it has been used in combat. De Marco confirmed the National Guard did not possess these devices.
