Certainly if it was a 1 Megawatt green laser for astronomy purposes, the helicopters and planes that have been "targeted" by the fools in the past would be a smoldering cloud of ashes wouldnt they?
Look at the upside though.... The 999.9 Kilowatt laser I have is LEGAL!!!! wooohooo! anyone want to borrow it?
As my Electronics Instructor used to say "Don't be too proud of this technological terror you have constructed"
Maybe I should change my avatar picture too????? Just a thought?
