Jay, check out www.equipped.org. There are tests done on laser pointers
as signalling devices. There are also leads on aviation quality signalling
mirrors for about 10 bucks. Also, great articles on ditching.

All this talk about idiots shining lasers in pilots eyes has me wondering
if we shouldn't add a laser pointer to the collection of knives, blankets,
and food? Anyone think one of these would work as a signaling device?

Or would it only get me arrested? (After rescue, of course...)
