Where did I say they are toys? I'm not trying to downplay the danger. I'm just asking if we collectively can avoid broadcasting concerns that have no grounding in reality. I didn't say that combustion isn't possible, it's instant combustion that isn't going to be an issue. If you leave your laser on and walk away and you return to a fire burning, I'd have to fault you for the fire since it was negligence that caused it.
As I've said about 5 times so far, there is much danger inherent to class 4 lasers, especially portables, but we should focus on the dangers that are realistic, like catching a beam off of your wristwatch or a nearby windowpane. Beam/reflection to the eyes, that's where the real danger is here.
I apologize, I'm not trying to piss anyone off but it seems like some folks have nearly gone off the deep end with some of this stuff. I admire those who are doing their best to educate people about the hazards involved with these new developments, but if we're to lead by example I feel that our data should be accurate. The problem is that some folks are stressing out way too much about this, leading to conclusions that have no basis in reality. Others are using this as an opportunity to spread their own feelings as "anti-portable laser" propaganda, latching on to any and every possible hazard, no matter how obscure or nearly impossible they might be.
