"Geoffrey Barnes" wrote in message ink.net... Actually, you do. It's *so* over the top. Designed to scare the pants off nervous fliers. I wonder, is it legal to carry a laser pointer on a commercial flight? No. All commercial passengers must be completely naked, must check every single item they wish to travel with (including their pacemakers, insulin pumps, and Epi-Pens) into the cargo hold, and must be encased completely within a lucite "security pod" for not only the duration of the flight, but for two days beforehand and 6 hours afterwards. Anal probes are still optional at this stage, but they will become mandatory of the beginning of the next fiscal year. All 12 of the people who flew commercially since these regulations were introduced (not counting the four or five who asphixiated in malfunctioning security pods) chose to walk home rather than fly the return leg of their round trip. What a crock!! Only the babes or buff dudes have to be naked! |

You guys just keep on missing it...this is a AP story, granted the bogus illustration is from CBS...
Did anyone see the 'legit' laser stuff coming out of the feds specifically for the ADIZ around DC? "Happy Dog" wrote in message ... "BTIZ" wrote in message news:vloFd.237$wp.104@fed1read05...

Re this link:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/...in666290.shtml Is that a real photo? Most lasers project a dot or a circular point, this picture suggests it's a being transmitted as a scanned line. Note it lights up the airplane in a line, then continues above it. I'd have thought the airplane would have occluded the beam. |

Is that a real photo? Oh yes, quite real. The media never would create a fraudulent photo just in the name of sensationalism. |

"Aardvark" wrote in message ... http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/...in666290.shtml But who will arrest all those military jet pilots executing laser-lock "for training purposes" on cars driving on the highways ? They do it all the time. I know this is outside of visible specter (therefore should not cause blindness) but who says enough energy can't cause damage to tissue? |
