but I do not accept you as final and ultimate authority on the 'physics' of it no matter how many times you repeat it.
the issue is finding a rational basis on which offenders may be curtailed from offending, and those that manage to offend regardless, may be justly dealt with.... considering that many offenders may be juveniles &/or mentally juvenile.
....and you would still claim to foresake this country over having this "harmless" thing,...which you as a responsible adult can have anyway,...
and you even have the T-shirt... gee.

Lastly, and let me be very clear on this, while the rising/setting sun is at altitude is decidedly brighter than any laser I have yet to tinker with, it's "thermo-nuclear attacks" have yet to be spun into a hazard to aviation, despite it's getting into aviators eyes, well since Pontius was a Pilot.
Yet, day in and day out, thousands a aviators around the globe grumble about old sol, (usually because you've been up all night) re-position their sun visor and get on with the business of flying the aircraft. Safety issue?
That would be a long bow indeed...
