AMEand PPL,
Direct adverts for these 'things' have already been eliminated by the mods.
The links in the latest posts were there simply to illustrate what sort of things are unfortunately still available on the open market without any sort of license.

So I think you're vastly overreacting.
You don't really think these morons 1) read PPRuNe and 2) need it to find their 'toys', when undoubtedly they find them either by word of mouth, or simply via Google.

You could do worse than read some of the "reviews" of the various models on that site. Such as "wow, burns through plastic right across the room", "lights matches across the room", "burns through a ream of copy paper", "aiming spot visible even over more than a mile", "great for pointing into the sky", "great for popping balloons", "my friends were very impressed".....

No mention anywhere of any "useful" uses. Just playthings to impress the boys. And since there's so little you can do with them, you can even see how some of these cretins have come up with the idea of shining them at aircraft.
