pheromones as pasifiers?

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I read an interesting article recently where an American debt collector had patent a pheromone that he sprayed onto \'final demand\' letters. The point being that the recipient would be calmer, less aggresive and more responsive.
My question is could a similar pheromone pacifier be produced to have the same effect on prisoners? It could be added to the washing powder, although there may be a problem with dosage. Could be used as a safer alternative to some of the present treatments.
What does everyone else think?
It\'s not as daft as it seems. images/icons/laugh.gif

Hey Dave,

It only makes sense. Certain smells have been used in the business world for a long time. Have you ever walked into a business and smelled a very light citrus smell? or a coconut smell? Sometimes employers will have a scent placed in the airflow for an office. These scent make one more alert, i.e. more productive. In casinos (work in them myself) sometimes you will smell a coconut smell. Seem that this scent makes losing ones dollars a bit less painful/stressful.
So it only makes sense that sure there maybe certain pheros that will make the recipient a bit more positive to whatever it is you are throwing at them. I was reading a blurb somewhere by \"Dr Dodd\". And it related that there were over 50 different phero that we as humans are susceptible to.
