The latter can result in being fired, snubbed, insulted, blackmailed, and justifiably having your judgement challenged.

Why justifiably? I mean, I agree that all of that could happen, including having ones judgement challenged. I just don't see why you singled out having ones judgement challenged as being justified. You're basically saying being filmed while having sex is inherently wrong, and in an extreme worst case, that being filmed while having sex shows that you are mentally unfit to live in society and must be locked up for your own good.

Just one problem with that.

it takes around three gigajoules of death-ray to entirely vaporize a person — enough to completely melt 5,000 pounds of steel or simulate a lightning bolt.

People have survived being hit by lightning. But then, I don't know what goes in to simulating a lightning bolt. So maybe most of that energy isn't in the lightning bolt itself.
