    Nice one DZ!

    If the curtains didn't catch fire with the last laser, they will with this...

    On the other hand... that is a very sweet deal for a 4W RF CO2, too bad I'm already over budget... I went ahead and bought more stuff last night!

    Ok, you are officially part of the club now. You're not really an insane laser addict until the better half starts giving you sh!t! Welcome to the asylum!

    It went smooth. The x-ray operator sat there staring at it, then said "I give up." as if he was being challenged. I just said what it was and he sent me on my way.

    That solves that riddle. I had heard of bringing multiple-watt lasers on airplanes as carry-on luggage, but I didn't specifically hear about "projectors" being allowed.

    Apparently 300Evil had no trouble either as I just spoke with him a few minutes ago and he didn't mention anything about [laser] cavity-searches.
