A balloon restraint system? Who sent in the clown police? This guy could pull off an escape using his chin stubble!

I like the idea of having to restrain him to strap this thing on before you can activate the balloons, thereby restraining him....again. This was especially hard for a cop with fingers only on one hand. How the hell did he do the buckles? Then, the criminal pretends he can't move his elbows or knees while you shoot lightening at his penis. Awesome.

But what if the heavily armed gang of terrorists refuses to put on their restraint devices? Ah, I sense a new patentable restraint device inforcing apparatus coming up.

Looking at the illustration, I thought it might be a new "Masters of the Universe" figure.

"OK, sir, put the knife down, step away from the small child and put on this extremley involved apparatus so we can restrain you..." WHo's working the air pump, Barney Fife?

Use this with the Spinal Stimulator and you are in for a special "treat'! ;o)

Anyone cranked up on meth or PCP is sure to gladly put this on to faciliate restraint...
