The treaty in place banning laser- based blinding weapons is working well so far. Think laser pointer attached to an eye-seeking aimbot. Scary stuff.

- int_19h 8y agoHow do we know that it's actually working? It's easy to refrain from using such weapons in extremely one-sided conflicts. It's another matter if it's a major war between roughly matched powers; and we haven't seen that yet. Still, though, the technology evidently exists (and we still make lasers that are plenty powerful to do this). The ban is on its use for this purpose, not the tech itself.
