What I find more frightening is the apparent statement that these lasers 
can destroy a multi million dollar satellite. Its the same as multi million 
dollar aircraft that do not seem to have a few dollars spent on shielded 
avionics so a simple cell phone will confuse the aircraft.
I believe South Australia has already banned these laser finders under the 
"risk to pilots eyes"
Anyone from there know for sure?

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.
