Lasers Reportedly Pointed at Hawaii Planes
The FBI and police are reportedly investigating three incidents in
which powerful laser beams were aimed at commercial planes headed into Honolulu International Airport over the past two weeks. The FBI said the incidents were not terrorism related. http://www.GreenLazer.com |

On a non-spammy note, some of the Mauna Kea observatories actually use
lasers to create artificial "stars" in the sky that they then "look at" and use to configure their adaptive optics to provide better seeing for real targets, I think. One that I know of (Keck, which I suppose could count as two, actually) has people whose job it is to stand outside and watch for any aircraft flying near the mountain, to make sure that they don't zap any with the laser. -- Dan Birchall, Hilo HI - http://hilom.multiply.com/ - images, words, technology |

Guess they will have to be closed down now, so some waffle-face
stateside can own a 3mw green laser!

If you'd like to purchase a laser, you can do it without rewarding a spammer and save some money too: http://www.z-bolt.com/ (an Astromart Sponsor) |
