The problem with Clancy novels and James bond films is tah they ignore the reality. A class 3 laser taht could really hurts someones eyes at a range of a 1000ft or more is a big bulky thing. You probably need a forklift to shift the power supply of some of these things. There the chance of someone hding in a crowd and shining one is pretty remote. They are not easily disguised into an Omega writs watch unlike the one that 007 has which can cut metal!!!

As my laser prof. used to say - the best way of hurting someone with a laser is to drop it on them.....
