This and the fact that these handheld lasers are shined into crowds is the reason almost all laser pointer except the dimmest ones are now illegal in Switzerland. I was in Italy last week and a street vendor was selling decorative lasers and shinning it into the crowds. These "toys" were clearly strong enough to cause permanent eye damage. They should not be legal in this form factor.
