Only tangentially related: when I was a kid we let a couple stray female dogs sleep in our garage during the winter. One of them was pregnant and ended up delivering like 11 puppies in our garage. Both the mother and the other stray dog began lactating and both dogs would breast-feed the puppies.

We gave away all the puppies around the neighborhood. We took one, so did our aunt and a family friend. It was an interesting experience to get to see how different dogs from the same litter and different environments grew up. When they would get together you could tell they remembered/knew each other. I still miss that dog - literally experienced his entire life :(

That doesn't mean you have any less heat to dissipate.

It has to have gotten worse since the whole JFK thing.

I think the problem is you'd have to put the laser system on the area you want destroyed. Lightning can really only kill someone or light stuff on fire - and we already have weapons that can achieve this more easily that mounting a laser system in person. So it doesn't look like this is really forming an effective weapon unless you can direct the lightning, ideally stealthily, to a third location. Maybe it could be mounted to a drone that flies over? I'm still having a hard time imagining a scenario where this provides new leverage.

Holy shit man grow some balls. Yes, this is a constructive comment. You cannot let yourself be pushed around and extorted by such petty 'fears'.

In reality this is not much of a concern at ~100psi. The bigger concern is to make sure that you get a good clean glue seal at all of the joints. That is the most likely error and point of failure. Also, don't drop it.
