He was referring to 5mW lasers, and for something of that low of power, he's correct.

how do you know that? there are many pen lasers over 5mw![/quote]

"He said that the new widely available laser pointers had a radiant emission of five milliwatts, which even if shone directly into the eye would cause less dazzle than a bright flashbulb."
 
He's referring to the common 1-5mW red laser pointers that's been around for many years.  Yes, those lasers you can stare at for hours and wouldn't do a thing to your eye.  Those are also the lasers that are most commonly used in general, especially for teachers.  5mW green, I wouldn't do it.  And there's no speak of higher powered lasers, and it's dated November 1997, so then there really wasn't green pens and higher powered lasers 11 years ago.
 
haha, i bet lasers 11 years ago were advertised as "almost visible beam at night with fog!"
 
I wouldn't stare into a 5mW red laser "for hours".. maybe those Class II lasers would be okay.
