A cheap laser pointer causes night blindness, which isn't a very good thing to have during a landing approach, or for a helicopter pilot performing law enforcement or search and rescue missions. There are a number of people sitting in prison for such things today. Now envision a bunch of these things sitting around around all over the world. Yes, the inventor says it only aims at a mosquito, not anything else, but when the mosquitos are between the laser and an aircraft, that would not be very cool. 08 Winnebago Journey 39Z, Cummins ISB 350 & Allison 3000MH US Gear Unified Braking System, Blue Ox tow equipment 10 Wrangler Toad Lowgroundpressure • View posts north west of dallas Senior Member Joined: 01/27/2006 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/13/10 04:48pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Just keep it next to the lawn dart box.
