Check out this interview with Bob Downs where he suggests some uses for the spectometer they developed for the Mars Science Laboratory

"I know that Miami Police Department has about 220,000 spectra of all the illicit drugs that are out there in the world. You just take these things; you can shoot them and ten second later you know what they’re holding: is it baby powder, is it cocaine? Really easy to tell."

They're also talking about using it to diagnose breast cancer and the cost? $2000 to $5000. Wow in a word.
