Lasers and the Navy Pilot

I literally just read that story before clicking over here to AW. That article makes me roll my eyes. Let's be precise with our wording...hospitalized and injured are two very different things. But hey, let's include both of them in the same story!

Hey whaddaya want? It's the FNP.

I just thought it fit in with the other two posts I quoted, because the bonehead laser guy shot at a Maryland State Police helicopter. Crap, they were there to arrest him within minutes.

Step 1: Figure out what O.D. is needed.

It would be interesting to hear the mechanics of how one goes about figuring that out in a situation like this.
