So that explains all this “collateral damage” I’ve heard so much about…
Think I could get them to look my way if I shook some tinfoil in their direction?

I don’t know. Tinfoil = chaff, and chaff = fooled / confused sensors, so…

Read this BBC piece with the RT (Resident Teen) and he informed me that the entire fuselage of the jet is a cell to hold all the chemicals needed to use the lasar…..I wonder what happens if it crashes…..Don’t you just love the military? I guess we should be relieved that there will be a new and improved “light” model soon on our shelves. Sunglasses, anyone?

isn’t this just the “hummer” version of Reagan’s Star War defense system?
I’ll just stick with the sharks with frickin’ lasers on their heads!

That is funny. I have heard that causes blindness. This is one of those “I meant it that way” comments.
