[Chaos-l] Green lasers

[Jeff Polston]

>From what I read, the guy lit up a plane.  Then when a helicopter flew over
to investigate, he lit that up to.  Feds arrived at his house and he lied
about it.  Then he blamed it on his daughter.  Then he finally confessed.

 

Yes, gun control is needed if you want to hit the target.  I'm always in
control of my guns.  :-)

As a green laser pointer-less amateur astronomer, I have to say that I can
see the Feds' point.  There certainly are risks to people on the ground as
well as to pilots and air travellers and all too often those who wield the
laser pointers are little kids.  Maybe it's just me - and yes, I favor gun
control too.  Walter

I received this over another listserve.-- Stewart

 

"I just saw where the person arrested with the green laser light is an
amateur astronomer, who apparently was showing his daughter some
constellations and pointing out various night sky objects, when an airplane
crossed the path. The Feds busted down his door, and handcuffed him, and
subjected him to an intense grilling, and he will be charged with three
felony counts. I am sure that most of them couldn't tell Orion from mascara.
This will be interesting as it evolves-Feds Vs. Amateur astronomers! I think
that an accomodation will have to be made, otherwise, we will all be felons,
and our green laser lights will be confiscated. I use my pointer frequently,
as I am sure many of you do. What to do, what to do. Stay tuned. (;-)) Ron"
