The use of the term "bolt of light" gives one the image of something
dangerous or incredibly bright. In fact, should such a device exist,
it need only be bright enough to ruin a shot, say, brighter than the
white of the ship. The camera would be set to expose for the subject,
presumably darker than the white of the ship. A mere $20 high speed
flash or strobe unit would suffice to "destroy" your shot.
But could his alleged system keep up with a K-7 or K20 shooting in
"continuous" or "Burst" mode?

...Ambramovich has installed an anti-paparazzi “shield”. Lasers
sweep the surroundings and when they detect a CCD, they fire a bolt
of light right at the camera to obliterate any photograph....
Wouldn't the mirror bounce the laser back???
