Switzerland seems to be equipping all of its first responders with laser protective eyewear as well.. http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.srf.ch%2Fnews%2Fregional%2Fbasel-baselland%2Fbasler-polizei-schuetzt-sich-gegen-laserpointer http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&pre...
