Stopping Cars with Microwaves

The system, which can be attached to an automobile or aircraft carrier, sends out pulses of microwave radiation to disable the microprocessors that control the central engine functions in a car. Such a device could be used by law enforcement to stop fleeing and noncooperative vehicles at security checkpoints, or as perimeter protection for military bases, communication centers, and oil platforms in the open seas.

I don't like this one bit.... I mean I can understand its use in high-speed chase situations and such, just seems to me that the potential for misuse is high. Esp. in a Situation X scenario.

i must build one myself... i bet all i need is a magnetron from an old microwave oven and some other parts...

sounds like a good old fashioned e.m. pulse, only localized

is there an electronic wizard in the house?
