This laser flapdoodle is raising a lot of dust all across the Internet. It seems that some of the most ardent defenders of our God given right to squirt coherent light beams wherever we please are Liberals. Suppose for the sake of argument that someone, O say our own Guy for example were to be charged with Interfering with the operation of a mass transit vehicle. Could we expect him to be defended in court by the ACLU? The irony of that would be hilarious. As another possibility, consider what would happen if Guy, again only as an example for sake of illustrating a hypothetical situation, were to accidentally shine a laser into the cockpit of an F16 on night maneuvers in the west desert. Further assume the pilot was one of those recently given orders for another tour of duty in the Middle East, so that he is currently having a really bad day. No, this wouldnt be a nice legal issue of interfering with a mass transit vehicle. The pilot however would be duly qualified, armed and authorized to use deadly force to defend himself and his aircraft. So he proceeds with turning poor Guy (again only for example) into a greasy spot in the west desert with one of those new 800-pound smart bombs with the television camera in the nose. You know, the laser guided kind. Now that would be really ironic. Clear Skies Daniel Turner __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Easier than ever with enhanced search.
