On 11 August, the Associated Press reported that the Homeland Security Agency will spend up to $20m to equip its agents with gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks to the skin of a person deemed uncooperative.(8月11日，美联社报道称，国土安全局将花费高达2000万美元，为其特工配备可向被视为不合作者的皮肤施以痛苦电击的手套。) The “conductive distraction and de-escalation devices”– branded Glove, for Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter – will be supplied by their manufacturer, Compliant Technologies, through a no-bid contract(无竞标合同).
8月11日，美联社报道称，国土安全局将花费高达2000万美元，为其特工配备可向被视为不合作者的皮肤施以痛苦电击的手套。这种“传导性分散注意力和降级装置”——品牌名为Glove，即“Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter”的缩写——将由制造商Compliant Technologies通过一份无竞标合同提供。
News of the acquisition(采购，获得) inspired the editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes(安·特尔内斯，美国社论漫画家) to publish a cartoon of an ICE agent wearing the glove, underneath which are a branding iron(烙铁), an iron maiden(铁处女), a rack, and other compliance technologies. AKA(又名，也就是), instruments of torture.
这一采购消息促使社论漫画家安·特尔内斯发表了一幅漫画，画中一名ICE特工戴着这种手套，手套下方是烙铁、铁处女、刑架以及其他“合规技术”。也就是酷刑工具。
Indeed, Amnesty International reports that portable, convenient electric shock devices made for law enforcement like the glove can be, and have been, used for torture.(事实上，国际特赦组织报告称，像这种手套一样为执法部门制造的便携式电击装置，可能被且已经被用于酷刑。) Once called weapons, they’re now marketed as “humane”. They are the former. A prisoner in Kentucky died of a heart attack(死于心脏病发作) after 27 successive(连续的) shocks, directly following 13 Taser(泰瑟枪) hits.
事实上，国际特赦组织报告称，像这种手套一样为执法部门制造的便携式电击装置，可能被且已经被用于酷刑。它们曾被称作武器，如今却被标榜为“人道”。它们属于前者。肯塔基州一名囚犯在连续遭受27次电击后死于心脏病发作，此前还直接挨了13次泰瑟枪射击。
