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.
