In a smashing blow against my neighbor Carmine, Australia has outlawed high power laser pointers. Like Carmine, Australians cannot be trusted with high powered lasers and, like Carmine one night last summer, they’ve been shooting them at airplanes.
WA Police have reported people pointing lasers at a Royal Flying Doctor plane, a police helicopter, a rescue helicopter, and several commercial and private airplanes.
That’s right: About five aircraft have been hit so far. That’s considerably fewer people in danger than those who eat the Bloomin’ Onion each year, but no one’s outlawed that yet. Where is the fairness?
I can point several reasons why this is a unreasonable thing to do. All with lasers.
What is the Aussie gov’t going to outlaw next? Pencils, because we can write bad things?
Our gov’t is getting almost as bad here in the USA. I feel you guys.
I disagree with your ideotic comment those people have the potential to kill people if they end up blinding the pilots you yanks are dump.
