Here we go... illegal lasers

[Stiffler]

Actually, according to the article referenced in AnthonyGarcia's thread from yesterday, getting the word out through PSA's is a big part of the campaign.

Unfortunately, we live in a world were the population as a whole often "just doesn't get it", and the PSA's probably won't go far without a few severe examples to drive the point home.

Time will tell...

Point taken. Hopefully it doesn't take too many 'examples' to get the word out.

I'm really hoping for movie previews similar to the "you wouldn't download a car" PSA. "you wouldn't blind your grandma"

Funny thing is, the song used in those PSAs was illegally used (used without permission) and the ad agency got sued xD

I wonder what's inside... if it's really a 3D model of a car or just random bits.

I have a few 3D models of cars on my computer. Definitely not that large of a file.

Thanks for the post Brad.... it looks like nothing is happening. But that is not true. ...Do they get caught? ... (especially when reported) and they tend to get their hand slapped. If someone complains again, they get their hand slapped much harder. Generally a third complaint brings out the teeth.

^ THIS. Peeps - the Gov won't act against the illegal face-scanning hacksters / Kryodorks / unsafe McJectors... if they don't know about them.. As Dan says, they don't have enough manpower / resources to 'man the radar' / go out and hunt-down all the dweezles.. So, THAT'S WHAT THESE ARE FOR:

http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/script...ci/contact.cfm

http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/CriminalInv.../ucm123034.htm ..and, moar 'general info', here: http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/CriminalInv...ns/default.htm

..Sure, their 'main-focus' is (understandably..) consumer-drugs / food / x-ray machines, etc, etc.. BUT.. they can - and DO - act on 'complaints' against Lazor-hacks..

ie: I've had the distinct pleasure of having one of my long-time 'complaints' followed-up with, just a few months back, and it was pretty-thourough follow up.. 'Who', well.. I can't mention any names, but.. his 'initials' are http://epicfx.com/

..and, NO - subject does NOT hold a valid 'AS' Variance http://epicfx.com/our-work#prettyPho..._portfolio]/3/ ..UPDATE: Epic-DB did get a Var 'approved' - only to go out and Illegally face-scan, and get his Var *REVOKED*.. and then, promptly *ignore* the warning, and continue to flagrantly-do shows, illegally.. so, now.. Triple

..But, point-is.. if it bothers you (like seeing some skank-club w/ clearly-unsafe / illegal face-scanning..) REPORT IT, PEOPLE.. No, you're not 'narcing' - YOU'RE PROTECTING YOUR OWN INTERESTS.. Yep.. best way to 'keep the Gov off yer back' / out of our Industry.. is to *comply with the Regs*... They're not gonna 'go away' anytime soon, so.. The more that people just 'do it right' / get 'educated' (via being 'turned-in' / reprimanded by CDRH..) the less-likely the Gov is to get all riled-up over some 'incident', and knee-jerk up and pass some blind 'blanket-legislation' that, ie: bans all lasers over 5mW, etc, etc..

..As I always trumpet, IMO, if there was just some real 'obvious' enforcement, there would (in-theory..) be less risk-taking... If even ONE Co. / person got the $300K-snot fined out of them / it was highly-publicized / plastered all-over the news, that could help.. (..again, in-theory.. ) ...of course, we'll never stop ALL the idiots / hacks, and, 'ya can't fix stupid'... but.. we gotta *try*..

I know this is going slightly off the main topic but, you're going to have to eat your words....
