"As laser pointers become more ubiquitous, more and more laser pointer 
related incidents have been reported worldwide. Most of the reports do not 
concern eye exposure, but outrage. For example, police officers have 
reportedly drawn their weapons when the light from laser pointers is 
mistaken for a gun sight. "
