With the days growing shorter, and the temperatures nipping at the freezing

the back of our aircraft in winter.

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...)

As long as you get rescued! In the winter in the north the cot for
sleep and 3 squares of jail would be welcome....

check out www.equipped.org for more info on the rescue flare/laser flare
that is being SOLD as a rescue signalling device (basically just a heavy
duty bright red laser pointer....

Green would be even better.... My green laser pointers dot is visible on
a water tower 1 mile away!
