Uh, I guess this is possible.
Federal officials are concerned that terrorists could try to down aircraft by blinding pilots with laser beams during landing approaches.
A memo sent to law enforcement agencies recently by the FBI and the Homeland Security Department says there is evidence that terrorists have explored using lasers as weapons.
"Although lasers are not proven methods of attack like improvised explosive devices and hijackings, terrorist groups overseas have expressed interest in using these devices against human sight,'' the memo said.
So....let's add lasers to the list of things that can be used to freak people out. Better invade a laser-making country to prevent these monstrous devices from falling inside the hands of terrorists.
Relax. It's from AOL news.
