Lasers for big threats and small

Airborne Laser test destroys ballistic missile. Coming at the same time as Iran declaring itself a nuclear power is rather nice. We could use some of these near North Korea as well.

Then on the other end of the scale but also a threat is the Mosquito Laser. It's funny last year Bill Gates released mosquitos to showcase the threat of malaria and this year they can shoot them down with lasers.
