Then learn. A laser can blind you, and can distract you while you are operating a motor vehicle. Should we ban laser pointer? No, because that's stupid. Shoul

Should we ban laser pointer? No, because that's stupid.
Should we make sure people understand tools and how to use them? YES.
- wyager 12y ago>A laser can blind you Yes, it can blind you, the user, but it can not blind a pilot. Any consumer laser will have too high a divergence to create dangerous power densities at any significant range. >and can distract you while you are operating a motor vehicle Sure it can. But so can cell phones, shaving, eating, jaywalking... People aren't getting 14 years for those.
- gamblor956 12y agoIt's 14 years for blinding someone else.
- spiritplumber 12y agoThe difference is that by cell phone, and eating, you are distracting yourself. Would you shove a phone in front of someone who is driving, to make them read a text? (I am obviously exaggerating, but you get the idea).
- snom380 12y agoYou obviously don't know what kind of lasers are available for purchase online. They're not your average presentation laser pointers. I know one pilot that completely lost his night vision in approach after a green laser hit the windshield. By luck his copilot was looking down at the time.
