To be more accurate, it's a tool for the police state. Next time the peasants demand that they be looted and subjugated less, the new laser guns will come in handy!

    The total cost will be about $3 million, paid out in two $1.5-million small-business-innovation-research contracts to Physical Optics Corp., which is working on the lighting effects, and a Tucson-based company called GEOST, which is working on the sound.

Oh but of course. Only $3 million. That's a small price for us to pay for weapons that will be used to subjugate us. In reality, it will be way more expensive of course. Cronies being cronies and all.
