"The best defense is an discriminate offense." Might this be a play on the idiom "The best defense is a good offense"? The "indiscriminate" part strongly reminds me of NSA's justification that their massive surveillance program was not warrantless search & seizure ''because'' it's indiscriminate, i.e. no one person is targeted. Kind of like in this comic, where the device automatically targets any nearby Glass user but no one user(s) in particular.

*Dunno about the NSA reference, but it is an obvious play on that adage. I've added a one-sentence explanation of the reference and a link to the Wikipedia page. --[[User:V2Blast|V2Blast]] ([[User talk:V2Blast|talk]]) 06:08, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 
  
 
Could Black Hat's attachment be for '''Google''' Glasses? Somehow the attachment has to see the targets and process this information ... The Kids will be running around and shooting each other. Sebastian --[[Special:Contributions/178.26.118.249|178.26.118.249]] 10:12, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
