Both Steve and Chuck are correct. The one phrase, which when uttered strikes absolute fear in my heart, is: "Hi.....I'm from the federal government, and I'm here to help you" The laser pointer absurdity/stupidity will only get worse, and probably not get any better, until after the upcoming armed revolution occurs. Until then, laser pointers will soon become contraband, in the same category as fingernail clippers, and will soon require a license to own and operate. We obviously need more laser pointer control and legislation, or we'll soon be treated to "Lasing for Columbine" documentaries. What a really sick society we live in. /Bob SteveB0513@xxxxxxx wrote: >AK-47? No problem. But we have to register those laser pointers.
