The night vision being worn by a pilot? This is okay, if they where running dark... Two pilots in the helicopter? THIS seem strange, but I guess it pays to have a back-up... So what is it? |

Can you amplify it to the point that it will? Hog Wash! Try it with a night vision monocular and see what happens. Nothing, nada, simply won't amplify it to the point of harm and neither will goggles, it is impossible! Liar is looking for a handout. Freaking weenis!

Jammer User ID: 89088 United States 05/04/2006 11:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That is like saying if you watched a laser from TV and it entered your eye,and the beam multiplied, what BS- night vision goggles have a flourescent screen! Photons arriving on the photoelectric surface are discreet and hence the numbers fluctuate with time. The smaller the rate of arrival the larger the the fluctuation of any given pixel. This manifests itself as a fluctuating brightness called 'photon noise'.(flourecent screen!)To combat this, the arriving photons are integrated for longer periods by using a fluorescent screen in which the brightness builds up and decays slowly. There are limits to the integration time. Too long an integration time will cause images to become 'smeared' across the screen. [link to www.physlink.com] Your VILLAGE called, their IDIOT is missing.

It causes no more than the same effect if you were to walk from a dim room into sunlight. |

Invisible to the naked eye though. Car tail lights are almost as bright as head lights. There are infra red flash lights that produce no light visible to the naked eye, though look like flood lights to night vision. |

It was also a green laser involved in that case. LAKELAND | A Lakeland man who told deputies he was tired of hearing a Polk County sheriff's helicopter fly over his house was arrested Sunday night after he shined a green laser light into the cockpit and temporarily blinded the pilot, the Sheriff's Office said. Click to enlarge Mark Clay Hazlitt, 58, of 2870 Chatsworth Lane, was charged with misuse of a laser lighting device, a third-degree felony, according to reports. [link to www.theledger.com] NEW YORK | A 15-year-old boy damaged his eyes while playing with a laser pointer he'd bought over the Internet, say doctors who warn that dangerously high-powered versions are easily available online. One eye expert called it "a legitimate public health menace." The boy's case is reported in Thursday's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine by doctors who treated him at the Lucerne Cantonal Hospital in Switzerland. It follows two reports in June of similar accidents. British doctors said a teenager damaged his eyes with a high-powered laser pointer, and a British physician said his vision was affected for several months after he was zapped by his 7-year-old son.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1177646On the other hand, if the helicopter is flying low enough for someone to be able to do this, maybe we need laws to prevent it. I am personally not in favor of using helicopters as spy platforms to circumvent trespassing and search and seizure laws and increasingly this is what we are seeing. The OPies story is a typical example. The cover story was they were looking for a loud party, which is ridiculous. There is no legitimate reason a helicopter should be flying 100 ft above my home or property. |
