Used to buy them by the box load from Pat-Pong and they were very popular with my kids & their friends. All sensible enough not to point at eyes or moving targets etc. Many IP's used them for class-room work too although I preferred those long pointy sticks. Are these the same things we are talking about here? I never thought the Pat-pong versions were dangerous and I had a miniature version on my key ring for ages until an Eagle eyed Security Officer at LHR confiscated it. He reckoned that if a Hijacker got into the cockpit, got into my flightbag, got into the zipped pocket where I kept the keys and then zapped me in the eyes with my miniature laser torch.............................I would be history .

Blimey, why is my version of laser coming out a l@ser after sending too ?
