Ah, I see. So when you look at your own posts, Jerry sees the same thing?
I get it!
Yeah, it would be daft to be able to give yourself rep points! (I did read that thread!)
Thanks for the explanation.
Back to chopper-coppers and their new gadgets...
It does seem, after reading the spec sheet for this thing, that it is concentrating on 532nm. It gives tolerances as: +/-10nm @ 532nm. It would also seem that you may get away with hitting one of these with your Blu-Rays as the machine is tailored to 400nm-1100nm, (not that I'm going to be the one to try!!! ;D)
What is more interesting and could possibly give a more accurate, "fingerprint", is that this device can record, "pulse length", and, "repetition rate". Not sure how likely it is to be hit by such a pulsed device, but I'm guessing they WILL be easier to match to an, "Event"; as they put it.
The more I read on this thing, the more I think it sensible to just NOT hit police helicopters and concentrate on commercial jets with hundreds of people aboard.
(THAT WAS A JOKE!!! Please do not shine lasers at any aircraft, cars, etc. (sorry, the lawyers made me write that bit.) ;D
I wonder how much these devices are?

What's the problem?
This is a great invention that will help catch the bad guys, and in time hopefully help restore laserpointer's bad reputation!
