Running the numbers at 0.1 statute miles (528 ft or 176 yards), this works out to 250mW being the maximum eye safe l@ser power at that range. Conversely it'll be about twice that distance for a 500mW l@ser. Again this assumes a nominal beam divergence of 1.5mrad, quite a typical number for the average, run of the mill, high power l@ser pointer.
So you will agree then, that in a police helicopter or indeed any ac operating at 1,056' AGL or below, eye damage is possible with the commonly available & used 500mW+ pen!
Methinks with all your attempts at being clever; Foot, self, shot rings a bell
