OMG!!!! I can't believe I missed this thread!! I guess I was in the throes of Laserium-werk...
Karl - did you ever get any response from Dale / anybody? You might try this link http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/script...ci/contact.cfm ...probably just end-up on Dales' desk anyway.... God, I miss Frank Mack! ..and 'surprize-surprise': exhaustive-search @ fda.gov turns up ZIPPO for 'Nomadix' nor any 'sub-level' info-searches.... (addresses, etc..) so, no Variance, apparently... sure - fda.gov has got some seriously-outdated Var records, but at least there's SOMEthing in there, on all that have them... 'Nomadix: ZILCH...'
...Sheesh, well, I certainly don't have any more time to play 'lasercop' - really, I HATE having to spend ANY time dealing with this shyte, but like you, I feel 'jealous' for our industry, and the Regs - 'draconian' or not, are what they are, and I just HATE hacks and throatcutters ...they ruin it for everybody!!... I mean, these jerkoffs aren't even capable of BLANKING (...nice catch, heroic! - what kind of Quality can they possbily be offering?? Yeah, well I say: 'Nomoredicks'!!
RE: us in the back of a truck with a 'LS on a leash' for a 'laser guidance system'??? Phthththt! that's funny - when we shoot lasers to test runway-lighting concepts for the FAA -we have the FAA THERE, thankyouverymuch!... (and yeah - that-particular demo was a FAIL, from a 'real-world-solution' standpoint...... but it sure was fun... (... and APPROVED!!!)
Lemme know if I can help at all, Karl...
peace..
