I'm not worried so much about the 'using lasers' part, it's the 'customs' part that will be annoying.

Peoples lasers do get held up at US customs and other countries, peoples packages to Australia have been searched by customs (but not removed because there were no laws then) so I reckon that is the main concern.

Both my RPLs I bought are late. According to tracking the RPL-400 should of arrived a week ago. RPL-300 is getting on the 'overdue' side as well.

Man, I hope it isn't customs... :(

Here is some information regarding to the lasers in AUS. QLD here myself.

Refer to Murudai's thread too:

It's all fucking Morris Iemma's fault. In all fucking reality, lasers have hurt NOBODY except stupid morons who use them wrong.

Shining them at planes going 900km/h is REALLY FUCKING DANGEROUS, isnt it? Because EVERYONE knows that the beam will be in the cockpit for anything over .001 of a second.

I say this with all seriousness:
Morris Iemma can get sodomized by a fucking semitrailer. Or they should make it IQ test required to get one, not stupid forms and bloody more forms.

/rant.

PS: QLD for state of origin ;)

those planes arent on approach at 900km/h. (if your laser is powerful enough to get the 36,000ft mark, they will be going 900km/h, but you could only get underneath the aircraft)

***they come in at about 250km/h (airliners, e.g Boeing and Airbus)

but, i still agree it would be very hard.

***try following some planes at the airport with a VCR camera zoomed as much as possible till you can see the pilots face!!.

***with a laser powerful enough to pose a threat the beam would be very visible.
im sure they wouldnt get it there first try.

BACK to the camera zoomed in, try and find the pilots face after youve zoomed in. insted of centreing the aircraft and then zooming in...

go die labor. i cant wate till i can vote.

And who's to say that the liberal party wouldn't of done the exact same laws? Hmm?

Trust me, labor are doing a better job in government than liberal were. Especially if Mr Rudd were to start delivering on some of those promises.

I doubt it, you should of seen some of their proposals! Labor seems much more flexible than Liberal.

Oh, and watch your language. These are public forums, and thus a certain degree of civility should be maintained :) At least *** part of the word.

What do I care? Elections over, lol

All I remember is that Labor were a better option than Liberals at election time, and so far labor haven't screwed up yet.
