and also once a stupid guy decided that a laser show intended to scan the air could be used for crowd scanning and blinded a huge amount of people in Russia. Does this means laser shows must be banned? HELL NO!

HELL NO! It means that the availability of these lasers should be limited to people with provable expertise.

The problem is that laser shows technicians are not that much that can be controlled. Laser enthusiasts are many to try to control each of them. For this reason education is the proper way

^If you ask the above mentioned trolls, EVERYONE who owns a portable laser is a moron. Including every member of PL who does.. which likely includes them. Can we say "hypocritical"?
Anyway, I can't possibly continue anymore with this pointless argument. Wake me up whenever the laws are passed..
Junior Member
Wait. This video is a PL meeting? is it just me or they all got high powered pointers and they are aiming a plastic helicopter that reflects the beams WITHOUT goggles?

lasers over 5mw are NOT illegal in the us... if you guys knew as much about the CDRH as you though you did you would know that lasers over 5mw have to have at least a 5 point safety system on them to be over 5mw. and lets not forget about the new compliance with the IEC regs that makes any laser in the us legal as long as it complies with the IEC regs...
