The US navy has demonstrated a ship-mounted laser weapon system in the Persian Gulf, off the coast of Iran, capable of destroying targets on speeding boats or even aircraft with pin-point accuracy, it told reporters Wednesday.

I suppose it had to happen eventually, still this:

Under Protocol IV of the Geneva Convention (added in 1995), laser weapons are currently banned for use against humans. This is perhaps why, in the demonstration, wooden human figures are propped up on the target boat, to show that the system is accurate enough to destroy mounted weaponry while avoiding human targets.

“We will not point lasers at people,” said Klunder. “We are going to honor the conventions.”

would be more convincing if we had not just admitted that we violated the UN Convention Against Torture

How long before they start turning them over to the fucking cops to use on peaceful demonstrators?
