Hooray, let's employ even more IT specialists
Works for me

wouldn't you have to get the wires out of the first target before dealing with the next?
Depends on they type you're using. Most "stun guns" are a lot like cattle prods- two electrodes (sharpened to penetrate clothing) attached to a handle. The limitations are (1) you must be within arms' length of your target and (2) it takes a few seconds to charge between each use (it uses the same circuit as an electronic flash). Those limitations are actually an advantage for the good guys- a hijacker armed with one wouldn't have a prayer against 200 pi55ed-off pax, while a hostie could fend off 1 or 2 bad guys with it.
