I don't find this interesting or cool; it's pretty disgusting and immoral for someone to spend their time 'hacking' weapons and then publishing an article detailing their work.
Well, it's probably at least lame. All this kinda crap is just some guy who had a free weekend and happens to have a decent podium to speak about it on. Clearly the device itself is useless because it's the opposite of what you want - something inconspicuous.
