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!

I did peek at it... just a drawing..

I don't need to look.... it's CBS at it again... isn't that the network
that just fired everyone for the Bush military paper debacle?

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?

Re this link:

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.

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

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?
