If this report is true and there actually comes a day when passengers are forced to wear a stun bracelet, then I will find another way to my destination:

In order to enhance the security of air travel and to help manage illegal immigration, the Department of Homeland Security has solicited a proposal from a Canadian security company to develop a passenger stun bracelet.
[…]
Anticipating questions about passenger willingness to don a shock bracelet, Hahne was quick to defend the idea. “When people say they’re not going to wear one, they need to be made aware that the bracelets are totally inert until the flight is airborne and the flight crew determines an attack is underway,” he said.

Sorry that’s not enough of an incentive. It’s bad enough that we have to be put through hours of screening just to get on the plane, I’m not going to submit willingly to the potential of being incapacitated at the whim of the flight crew.
