My point exactly. It is Jan Panties that imagines a home-made laser
pointer should be illegal when far more dangerous devices are
readily available.

Tell it to Al Qaeda, in point of fact. Perhaps you've not heard

It isn't rocket science to spell "Pennsylvania", "dozen", "detonation"
or "It", most middle school students with an IQ of greater than 80
