I was checking my wifes laser last night and guess what it's technically illegal under these laws.
My wife is a Chef and uses a laser thermometer to ensure the correct temp of food being produced. It is safer than a probe as the risk of cross contamination is eliminated. This laser is handheld and is shaped like a gun and even comes with a holster.
Under these laws of stupidity my wife will now either have to get a licence for it and keep it locked in a gun cabinet or such like or get rid of it and run a risk of contaminating food with probes however slight which carries a fine of $100,000 per person under HACCP regulations.
I wont repeat what she said when I told her last night but you can guess.
Just another example of how this law has been well thought out.
Cheers
