"Lasers"

Heritage Foundation Senior Research Fellow James Jay Carafano wants to use friggin' lasers on the Somali pirates:

Less-potent lasers "would be effective for addressing a range of threats." The weapons "could, for example, disable the engines of small boats." Or they could "detonate shoulder-fired missiles before they strike their targets." Or they could "trigger IEDs [improvised explosive devices] from a safe distance before they threaten passing convoys," Carafano offers. Why, there's practically nothing the ray guns can't do.
