I'm creating this thread to avoid derailing the cybereyes thread.

Camera neutralizers (Arsenal) and burners (spy games) are capable of temporarily or permanently disabling cameras they encounter, including microcameras and drone sensors. This makes me think: what other cameras might get hit by these devices?

These are some of the targets that are... interesting.
1) Cybereyes. The potential damage caused by flashing the most common cyberware in the world might be anything from someone having to blink and rub their eyes (the horror!), permanent blindness, car accidents, or anything else that suddenly going blind in public might cause. Oh, and irrisponsable use of a camera burner in a public place can quickly be very expensive.
2) Smartguns. Obviously, your enemy taking out your smartgun camera in the middle of a fight is at best annoying. However, as I'm yet to see any form of IFF system mentioned with these devices the odds are that your friend's camera burner is to blame for your smartgun going blind. Oops.
3) Contact lenses and glasses with built in cameras. A blast of light strong enough to take out a high end camera is not really something you want to have shooting at your eyes...
