Interesting.. isn't security firms also into making security devices? PAINFUL
security devices? Isn't Damien head of one such? One of the largest?
(Rethorical questions).

Problem: If Knight Errant had an agenda of inflicting as much pain as possible,
it would be known and frowned upon. Unless it was just coming to fruition
about.. now, with the new Permissible Violence act. (What, you haven't heard
of it? Oh, you must've missed it. Someone lobbied for it, you know.. Damien
something, I think it was.).
