Agreed.

The problem with the LED ones is that they will so electrically

I really want one of these; as I'm really into death rays:

"Don't let the Arctic name fool you, this laser possesses the most
burning capabilities of any portable laser in existence. That's why
it's also the most dangerous laser ever created. In recognizing and
mastering the power of direct blue diodes, the Wicked Lasers' Arctic
shall become the standard by which all other blue lasers are
judged."

Terrorists could make good use of something like that against airliners
taking off or landing.


Yes, yes!
