Australia regulates laser pointers

by billso on Sunday, 27 April 2008

Accord­ing to Reuters, Aus­tralia plans to con­trol the impor­ta­tion of high-intensity laser point­ers and treat them like firearms. This comes after sev­eral inci­dents where peo­ple on the ground tried to blind air­plane pilots.

If the same rules were to be applied in the USA, every­one would carry a laser pointer.
