First, I should say: I’m sorry about shining those laser pointers at the jets. I just thought they’d crash or something—I didn’t realize people would get all freaked out. I promise never to do it again, but as my influence over military spending is patchy at best (my line iteming of R&D for a carbon-fiber “Super Bong” actually made it pretty far up the chain, but was nixed for being potentially “too ‘Peace on Earthy'”), I can’t promise that the military won’t develop laser blasting pulses designed to blind and disorient both mechanical and meat-based targets. In fact, they already have.
