You shouldn't have to drink tea to recognize that government can't fix every problem. And those of us who actually believe government can make a difference should recognize that it gets a bad name by sticking its nose into issues where it can't.

That's a lovely sentiment, Zander. How does it relate to airplane safety?

It doesn't - and neither does the inane law that they passed. I am a Private Pilot and I take flying and safety very seriously. That law is a complete waste of time.

Do you say that on account of IYO, the lasers pose no potential for harm?
It takes only about five seconds of thought to see that Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's amendment to impose federal penalties up to a five-year prison sentence for attempted plane zapping would be completely useless. How exactly would it be enforced? Would pilots who get lasered in the air contact a federal anti-laser-pointer task force on the ground? Would Tommy Lee Jones be recruited to lead the manhunts? And if a local cop somehow caught a 12-year-old goof-off trying to Luke Skywalker a 747 with a laser pointer he stole from his corporate mom, would the kid go to the federal pen? Sure, it's conceivable that someone with truly menacing intentions would point a laser into a cockpit. But does Congress think there's nothing in the existing federal code that would allow him to be prosecuted for trying to blind a pilot in midflight?

Unenforceable? I thought they charged a guy with doing this a while back?
It seems to be about the same degree of enforceable as shooting at a plane.
But if we make the laser pointing thing illegal how will the young terrorists get practice at "painting" a plane for an laser guided Sam?

i thought that one was pretty funny, too. seems to me you can say that about any law. so i'm figuring it's all about the 'ihategovernment' stuff.
i'm just wondering if he thinks there shouldn't be any immigration laws, too... you know, since they're unenforceable.
rand isn't very sharp.
We aren't talking about cat toy lasers, Zander. Seems to me, step one would be to restrict the sales of potentially harmful lasers and regulate their use.
Yanno, like we do with other dangerous instruments?
