NO, MR BOND… I EXPECT YOU TO DIE

Bond has found himself in innumerable scrapes over the years, but arguably none as harrowing as the prospect of being sliced in half by a laser beam – with the first parts to go being his privates. An industrial laser designed to slice through the vault doors of Fort Knox was the piece of tech which Goldfinger used to try and bring an end to 007’s snooping around. In the real world, lasers have been deployed for industrial and military use for decades. From precision cutting in factories to now even being mounted on military vehicles, lasers are no longer the stuff of science fiction.
