Yet another report on the news last night where the Premier said that they have the capability to bring down a plane and that he want's a complete ban on all lasers. Astronomers and other professionals would be exempt.
Two thoughts come to mind.
1. If a laser is so effective, why do terrorists need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on ground to air missiles if all you need is a laser worth $100.
2. As amateur astronomers are not mentioned in the exemptions does anyone know where I can buy an online degree that says I am a professional astronomer.
