I think the whole subject and associated hysteria is ridiculous to the point
of being suspicious. Is somebody OTHER than terrorists trying to scare us?
I mean, if I was Joe Terrorist, I wouldn't dink around with lasers that cost
tens of thousands of dollars and really only **** pilots off. I'd use a
semiautomatic or automatic machine gun or three.
Wanna -really- scare Americans? Punch a few bullet holes in the nose or
wing of a jetliner that's landing or taking off. I know a couple of
locations that would be perfect, and escape without detection would be
trivial. (I ain't tellin', Osama!)
All the lasers would accomplish is distraction, which, it may turn out, is
EXACTLY what's happening.
