New Homeland Security Laser Scanner Reads People At Molecular Level « CBS DC
And here are the specs on the laser. Up to 1W average power at retina penetrating
wavelengths. Does anybody else want to get shot with this thing? No I didn't think so.

While I'm sure that in the right hands this would be completely safe, I'm not willing to trust the
average airport employee with something potentially this powerful and dangerous. And
nobody said it had to end with airports. Who knows maybe someday every patrol car will be
shooting this at passersby.
On a related note, how awesome would a tabletop tuneable laser be?
