I reckon a torch would beat that.
They are daft - I picked up a 50mw one at my local Westfield - Asian guy who sells RC helicopters in the island stall. I don't shine it at planes and no one worries me about it -
I have 2 ploicemen living in my street.
Yes, they do make them that low, and if fact, that is all that they are allowed to sell in Western Australia, at least, without a weapons importation permit, as I had to get police approval to import a 40mW.

I wonder if you even have a 50mW, as I have seen these, Chinese models, being sold as 50mw, but in fact are only 5mW, but I don't know that for sure, having not seen it.

All I can say is that, I actually got caught with this when I bought my first laser at a market, it said it was 50mW, but I later discovered that it wasn't, it was only 5mW (and I still have it). It did the job though, so I was still happy with it.
