US Scientists are working on a device for crowd control. Volunteers testers have been assured there is no long term dangers as a result of being zapped and now have no protection with their permission of course. Read the article http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System
So would you get zapped in the name of science?

This would probably save a lot of lives in Palestine where mobs form and begin throwing rocks leaving Israeli soldiers with no alternative but to shoot to protect themselves and disperse the mob.
On the other hand I can see this technology being misused by dictatorships to prevent peaceful demonstrations against their regimes. But on the other hand the existing alternative seems to be to round them up and torture them or throw them in prison, so once again I'd prefer the microwaves.
