Just last month, the Homeland Security Department issued a memo warning terrorists may be exploring using lasers as weapons. However, there is no evidence the Nashville incident is connected to terrorism.
There is no evidence that any of these incidents has the remotest connection to terrorism. The only 'hostile' action was that against the Sea King off Vancouver Island, the rest are simple bloody stupidity.

I imagine terrorists would want to down an airplane, requiring a great deal more powerful 'weapon' than your local Radio Shack carries. Will that be before or after they perfect their rail gun, I wonder ?
