You could not go to the police for example and say that one is harassed with a LASER.
You mean EMP from a Hydrogen Atom BOMB don't you? Well that are photons too. It is the energy of such a pulse that the photons carry that make the difference. But a laser is Electro Magnetic based and the emitted photon is the pulse.
But this topic is not really about science.
Australian Laser Laws 2008 in Australia, a number of coordinated attacks take place involving high-powered laser pointers being pointed at the cockpit of commercial aircraft - Australian Laser law will never be the same. According to federal law in Australia, any hand-held, battery operated laser with a power emmission above 1mW is considered a dangerous weapon, and written consent must be obtained prior to possessing/importing such a laser pointer. However, according to an Australian Customs fact sheet, laser diodes, modules and other laser equipment above 1mW is legal to import.
