Shocking New
Jacket Hits Street

A new anti-assault device for women wards off potential assailants
with an 80,000-volt electric shock.

Dubbed "exo-electric armor," the No-Contact
Jacket looks like an ordinary fashionable women’s coat. But an inner
layer of conductive fiber carries a low-amp
charge that delivers a nasty but non-lethal shock to anyone who messes with its
wearer.

"It’s kind of like sticking your finger in a wall socket," said
Adam Whiton, an industrial designer at MIT and one of the jacket’s inventors.
