Stick it on a satellite with a half decent optical sight, web based aiming and park it over the duty nasty people of the month.


Just how much power do you think that a geostationary satellite 36000 km above the equator would need, particularly if your 'nasty people' are at latitudes some distance from the equator? And how would it be supplied with such power?
