This is what happens when you point a 95 Mw high power green laser into a digital camera. The screen stayed this way for several seconds after the picture, as the photosensor was overloaded. Imagine what it does to someone when it goes in their eyes. Burnt corneas to several test rats gave it the nickname "my wand of blindness".
People would do well to heed the danger label on the laser, as the lab rats with burnt corneas would agree. :?

Here is a picture of it shown onto a wall. Notice the quite visible beam of light. Because the camera processes the laser light differently than our eyes, the beam appears quite a bit wider than it really is. Really, it is only about 1.5 mm thick. It still retains its emerald-green brilliance in the picture, as well as its brightness. In a pitch dark room, the meer impact point of the laser is enough to light up the entire room with a green glow.

These pictures are not edited, unlike with the protest above :P
