Zaph and I talked about a pod that could be mounted to commercial jets and would shoot a green laser back at anyone that was shinning a laser at a commercial jet. A sort of anti laser, laser system.

They're working on crew protection systems, but that's about it for now.

Would not encourage people to point lasers at planes? If this idiots find it funny to blind pilots they will probably find it funny or cool to get a laser shining back at them

'Hey Bob! Watch this! If I shine my laser pointer at this plane they will shine one back, it's like a space ship'

They'd have to be quick about it. They'd be blinded back at the speed of light.
