I am 16 years old. I am a laser fanatic. I have several different wavelengths and they can light matches. That is power!
I believe I have the right to own them, but sadly there are so many irresposible idiots out there. I plan to become a commercial pilot and a hit to the eye whilst flying could impact my medical, and job.
Even though I am responsible with lasers, idiots are NOT. They also do not understand that shining a laser at an aircraft is no joke. Especialy on finals. I was hesitating at first, but now I have come to agree with the ban of handheld lasers above 1mW to been a restricted import.
I was reading through this thread and a pilot said something about wearing sun glasses while flying at night. I'm not sure if he or she were serious. But this will do NOTHING. Sunglasses are to protect the wavelength of UV. I dont need to explain UV here...
