Even before this week's riots in Britain governments were bracing themselves against protests stoked by the economic downturn. Firms such as Israel's Hagor Industries are doing a roaring trade in anti-riot shields, batons and helmets. David Frenkel, the firm's production manager, says demand is growing from police and military services in Europe, South America and Africa, bolstered by war, unrest and natural disasters. A firm called Intelligent Optical Systems, based in California, is developing, with government backing, a strobe torch that makes targets dizzy and disoriented (at least within a range of 15 metres). Older methods may have political baggage. Water cannons are disliked in America because of their association with police brutality during the civil-rights era.
