We do have air-to-air and air-to-ground and ground-to-air lasers, I would expect to see them get more powerfull and more wide-spread once the politics arround them die down. ground-to-ground lasers dont seem to be practical yet, but maybe in 20 years we will start to prototype them.
I'm pretty sure there were worries about this being implemented lol. Paranoid People
But is till dread to think what other weapons our governements are cooking up *who's paranoid now?

On good news i'm still alive and not crispy!!
