"AIR marshals on both domestic and international flights, and police peacekeepers on unarmed missions, could be given stun guns under a plan being considered by the Howard Government.

A six-month trial of the Taser X26, which can incapacitate a person by temporarily paralysing their muscles, will be held by a specialist unit in the ACT to see if police and security forces should get weapons.
A spokesman for federal Justice and Customs Minister Chris Ellison said yesterday the Taser would be tested over six months by an Australian Federal Police safety committee. "
