Duct tape… Always does what you need it to do.

Airtight cells would prevent that.

Technically not airtight, ut certainly the recirculating air would make an air-bourne irritant as nasty as OC not much fun.

OC Foam would work, I’m guessing, but there is a bit of trepidation now regarding use of that.

Airtight cells would prevent that.

The cops should have sprayed the spitter with capsicum spray.
