auto-darkening lenses
A commercial pilot of my distant acquaintance told me that idiots with laser pointers are now a routine hazard even in backwater Oz. Given that this is a world wide phenomena, why has not a lighter version of the self darkening welding goggles been created ? Making them common laser pointer frequencies/colours specific may mean one can maintain useful vision while attacker is active.
That may also make such eye protection of use on roads where an increasing number of incompetents maintain high beam in all conditions or others who install aftermarket retina destruction bulbs. Had a couple of them tonight attempting general blinding.
OTOH, why no military small "beam riding missiles" to autofire at beamers yet ?
