For anyone who doesn't know why the U.S. is a bit down on these green lasers, here is why http://www.photonics.com/Content/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=30198

"Pilots have reported more than 900 laser incidents nationally since the Federal Aviation Administration began recording them in late 2004." (And that was dated 7-2007.)

A local schmuck kept his green laser fixed on a police helicopter so long that they were able to alert a ground patrol, who arrested the idiot.
