You could probibly build little clip on active jammers.  (With published
specs to the "Evil Internet(tm)".)  Such intrusive methods should be pretty

after that...)

I want one that will make me show up as a multi-tentacled alien horror from
beyond space and time.  Why make them wig out and shoot you when you can
really mess with their minds...?
