Personally I cant wait to see all the helicopter parents and organic food nuts (you know, the kind that are always freaking out on Facebook about the latest horror poisons in our food supply) freaking out and scanning everything they eat with this device

I don't think that a handheld Raman spectrometer has advanced to the degree shown at the linked website.  If it can do as claimed, and at that size, it would be a remarkable instrument.  But my BS detector is definitely flashing red.
