The potential for abuse of this device in the hands of a government agency defies my ability to put it into words.

That's just silly.
Abu Ghraib didn't need any high-tech weapons to torture prisoners. Neither did the British during Internment in Northern Ireland.
Governments, or "rogue elements" (whichever makes you more comfortable), won't go using expensive equipment to force prisoners to do things they don't want to do; confess, break, provide information etc. They'll just continue to use good old fashioned, and cheap, methods.
