This is what I'd like to do. Get together a LARGE group of people. Membership would be $20 a month or something, and then fees would go toward the purchase of rare books.

Then these rare books would be scanned at high resolution.

THEN, and here's the beautiful part, print ready PDFs could be made, and torrented. Voila! Distributed Library of Rare Items. DLRI. or some such acronym.

If somebody out there knows of an organization like this, please email me. Otherwise, I guess I'll be starting it.

If it's similar to a microwave, then wouldn't "body armor" made up of a steel screen block it's rays completely? Like a fencing helmet, but for your whole body. I think that regular aluminum window screen would be an effective disruptor of the ray.
