What would be the fastest and easiest way to clog a respirator? Blowing activated charcoal at someone?

@feld corn starch should work. Maybe better and cheaper than activated carbon.

@SrRochardBunson oooh especially because moisture would really gum it up

So if we got leaf blowers that can blow large amounts of corn starch or flour into the masks of undesirables, they'd be forced to take off the masks to breathe

A then you can hit them with chili powder, cinnamon, etc....

@SrRochardBunson flour is a little dangerous though because you can cause the air to combust. Wonder if corn starch may have the same risk (or is this a feature??)

@feld probably about the same chance but feature or bug? Ehh? Also has to be a pretty specific concentration and usually enclosed.

@SrRochardBunson true

@feld which is a lengthy way to say I think it's an amazing idea!

@feld what about a hopper for corn starch that feeds into the blower?

A 3D Printed fitting to facilitate that?
