#5 Here's thought - put a healthy bounty on every balloon shot down and open it up to private citizens. I'm guessing no more balloon problem.

#6 The system is now fully operational and deployed globally.

Globally? Is Israel providing the system to others?

I wonder what the range is of these weapons? One of the articles said an effective range of 2 kilometers for one of the laser systems.

If mounted on a plane, I could see a scenario such as: "Isaac, we missed the target. Adam: Damn, we vaporized a school bus."
