Pretty cool ... Could we also "neutralize and deter," say, surveillance drones with a similar method?

Military is already shooting down cruise missiles with lasers, so drones should be trivial in comparison
I'm assuming those sorts of lasers can't generally be afforded or obtained for the sorts of, uh, "assymetric" uses I have in mind.
The FAA would like a word with you.
i mean sure the regulators don't like it but they're probably also working with the people running surveillance drones. i have no ethical problems with shooting down or disabling surveillance drones that spy on my property. the only thing stopping me from doing it is having a means where i can achieve it and not get caught/punished.
How about just drones then flown by tourists in otherwise quite and relaxing nature spots?
