The article is slightly wrong, the government isn't showing "great interest" since they haven't even gotten a written proposal yet for it.

And if you actually read the first page of the DHS letter (posted here: http://www.lamperdlesslethal.com/news/upload/pg1HomelandSecurity7_06.pdf), then you see that they say:

We see the potential uses to include prisoner transportation, detainee control...it is conceivable to envision a use in air security

Now, the writer of the article is completely blowing this out of proportion, because the DHS is investigating its uses, not trying to implement it.

I would be mad as hell if they did implement this though.
