That's like asking me to prove the improbability of the flammable bar of soap... I really don't think you need statistics, detailed diagrams, or a detailed report from scientists at MIT to understand how absurd and improbable it is.
Whatever happened to common sense and using your head?
The point of this thread is... why report on something ridiculous like LASERS? "Terrorists could use lasers to blind pilots! It was in a Tom Clancy novel, so it's GOTTA be realistic!" Come on now...
"Terrorists COULD be stealing your identity online, getting advanced plastic surgery to mimic someone you know, and infiltrating your family in an attempt to kill you"
"Terrorists COULD sprinkle anthrax into the Quaker Oatmeal factory, infecting millions of americans across the country"
Where does it end?
Do you not understand that this casues unnecessary paranoia? People are so obsessed with terrorists after 9/11, but they don't realize that they were INCREDIBLY lucky to even get away with THAT!
As open and unmonitored as most of our borders are, if the terrorists were even a fraction as smart or tactical as the media is leading us to believe, as if they were this underground cult of genius madmen, there would have been another attack somewhere by now.
They have nothing.
I'm not saying turn your back and ignore the problem all "ho hum", but damn, there's really no need for these kind of reports. They serve no purpose to the general public except fear and paranoia in the back of your mind of "Shit, next time I could get on a plane, terrorists could blind the pilot!!"
Why is that so hard to understand?
