This made my night. I'm still divided on whether 3 years was enough, but it's something!

Careful of what?
Are you suggesting that the members here would try that kind of moronic behaviour?

This is a good website, it's a good starting grounds and might be a good place to host a test that customers would have to take before purchasing laser equipment from stores that choose to participate in the laser safety program.

Prior to 2002 or so, we had a nearby laser show "company" around here that did stunts like no legal reporting and no aircraft spotting within 2-7 miles of two major airports with 20 watts.


Stupid happens.

And more stupid happens, LeBron is a big time hero around here:
