The threat does not come from boats in our situation.
If it did a firehose connected to the blackwater system will take care of anything remotely human that tries to board. D:
boats don't have airbags.
If it has a FDA Ascension number than it would be.
However since it does not have a shutter, key lock, emission indicator, delay after activation and is a completed product not to be incorporated into a system that does have such safeguards it would not be permitted.
Of course driving over the speed limit is illegal too, right? Whether people get them and use them is up to enforcement. Customs can confiscate these without notice anywhere.
It has a key lock and emission indicator. I don't know what constitutes a "shutter" legally.
For others- YOU'LL PUT YOUR EYE OUT!
Without a valid ascension number it's not legit though.
Even if it did have all these "features" I cannot find any legitimate purpose for this laser. Certainly not for the purpose of Raman Spectroscopy, holography, or other scientific purposes that the maker may claim fit.
People that WANT it know exactly and damn well why. They want to play with it, burn stuff, and see a cool beam of light in the air. Hopefully no one gets hurt in the process.

I am actually kind of surprised there is no youtube video of idiots with this thing hurting themselves. I mean they have had at least a month already.
Tis true, but I'd thought I'd let you know that it had at least a key. It wouldn't do to pick it up and have it accidentally activate.
BTW, there's a 6 watt green dpss diode on the horizon

Well that's another thing altogether - Wicked Lasers.
From what I gather the only working unit produced so far is the one pictured!
Even though the site says in stock I can assure that none of these have been shipped. Give it a few weeks I suppose.
If the wavelength was 488nm I'd be all over these in a heartbeat. That's the prettiest laser color by far. Watch ID4 - the color of the beam coming from the mothership blowing up the White House was 488nm. Well in appearance at least.

DPSS diode is redundant - which one is it? 6W pump (yawn) or 6W 532 output? If the latter that's nice but nothing super special.
I'm not sure about the color, but there is an upcoming generation of Sony projectors which will use it.
Regarding DPSS, you know more about it than I do, but the references I've found are like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode-pumped_solid-state_laser
Note in that article they explicitly mention frequency alteration by means of a crystal, like the standard green diodes which work by frequency doubling, and that is how the Sony diode will produce it's color.
The Casio diode supposedly doesn't do this. This is the "native" color produced.

And not quite as effective as a light saber.
Could I please have a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range?
I mentioned to someone that while we do not have a good portable death ray available to us poor amateurs yet I could see the technology coming along within the next decade.
This creates an interesting situation which has broader implications than this toy. As technology advances the means by which an individual can create mayhem increases. No regulatory scheme will prevent access to all possible problems. I won't even mention a few things I know on a public forum as I'm sure you'll understand, but eventually what I know will be built upon and could be accessed by high school students.
But that's off topic I admit.

I mentioned before that its thinking like this that will keep us in the dark ages when it comes to self defense. The Nanny State is counterproductive to freedom, and therefore Im seriously concerned about the future of civilian weaponry:

Hopefully there is a pretty steep fine and jail sentence for owning something like this without proper permits in the US. Way too many people would think it is just a joke and play around with it like a toy.
