Good post, Nigel.
It's a very hard thing to police, obviously, but in reality when will it stop? When the worst case scenario eventuates or when these idiots get bored? Hopefully the latter comes sooner. It made the front page of the herald today, and is on the news tonight as a headline story. Nick |

The Laser incident was on News before, and these Lasers seem very easy to get hold of on the net, thousands of them available

The State Government is now talking about banning them in NSW.
Nothing like shutting the gate after the horse has bolted! |

Is there any form of eye protection similar to welding goggles that could be donned by pilots in these situations? I agree that it's too late to do anything about the laser light weilding ferals but politicians do so enjoy enacting futile legislation when in knee-jerk mode.

I'm just worried that the latest 'Laser cluster' reports on news will spark even more laser attacks because idiots out there might've otherwise never think of doing such things and give this a try

I can't believe that 9msn did a poll on laser lights and most said they SHOULD be imported...
I guess if its keeping them off the black-market then we might not have a choice, outlawing them will force the trade underground. |

Surely they can differentiate between keyring lasers, 'whiteboard' lasers and high powered scope type. Apart from fitting to guns, agriculture / construction and surveying, you would be hard pressed to find a legit reason for a laser that emits a dangerous light to an aircraft on finals at 1000'.
