Lasers warn pilots of restricted airspace

[taloft]

The U.S. military is planning a final demonstration Friday night of a ground-based laser system designed to warn pilots who have flown into restricted airspace over the nation's capital.

Am I the only one who thinks this may not be a good idea?

I'd rather a light show than an AIM-120.....

Or we could just read our charts.

No, you're not the only one. Real irony would be if the lasers blind the crew, and they subsequently auger in. Maybe even into the very area they're protecting !
