Bob said:Why not? It would certainly be illegal to SELL such a
product without the appropriate warning stickers,
certifications, and such, but making one of your own
from readily-available components? How is that
illegal? Doesn't even look like all THAT powerful
a laser.
I know how to make any number of pretty damn
dangerous gadgets from items available for purchase
in any decent hardware store...but would it be
illegal for me to do so, in general? (Ignoring, for
the purposes of this question, the creation of certain
controlled materials such as explosives.)
Invert the phase 180 degrees and it is resurrection laser.

America!
Hey, just POSSESSION of dangerous "terrorist" items is a crime. It's
a felony to build a model rocket that is too large or possess too much
model rocket fuel.
See? This is what we are talking about! People can go right on the
internet and get information on building terrorist devices. This is
why the internet needs to be strictly censored and knowledgeable
people like you put in jail. I don't care if you've posted no
information so far. The fact that you know how to make "damn dangerous
gadgets" makes you a threat. In today's America we don't need a CRIME
to lock someone up. A "threat" is enough to do it!
If you think life is nuts now...just wait!

Radiosrfun said:I agree with Ben, life is nuts now - but not nearly as it may be. It's a
shame, but with all the ass holes out there - we have to take steps to
protect our people. When you have "American" kids / adults - acting in
behalf of the Islamists and all the other radical groups out there - you
can't take chances.

I'm with you. It is illegal to drive on the right in my country.
Certainly anything is legal in most countries unless there is
a specific law against it.
Is a book of matches a controlled material?
It is after all an incendiary device. So is a cell phone...
Benj said:Um. Sorry to clue you in Radiosrfun, but my mini rant wasn't
advocating the giving up of freedom for the PROMISE of security. As
Ben Franklin said, those willing to do that deserve neither! I was
simply making a point of the encroaching police state being fueled by
politicians lusting for power and people like you.
As for Androcles and the matchbook. Let me ask why do you think that
all the laws you are supposed to obey take up LIBRARIES of space. Do
you think for a minute that ANYONE could go through life never
violating at least ONE of them? EVERYONE HAS TO BE GUILTY! That way
each crime is determined by those in power rather than the rule of
law. Today our elected "representatives" don't even READ the crap
they pass. Our original system of government has been so subverted
that soon you'll be BEGGING for a king to act as God's representative
on Earth to sort it all out for us!
If you are willing to overthrow our traditions and American ideals
simply because of some difficult times in the world, then I can ASSURE
you that there are some politicians willing to CREATE those difficult
times so you will hand over your traditions. If this America, These
United States are meant to fall, then I say at least let them be
buried in holy ground!
So be it!

Yep, but a cell phone with a broken incandescent light bulb and a
match head resting against the filament is better, you only need
call its number to control when it goes off. It's no secret, Al Qaeda
used that for the Spanish train bombings

Radiosrfun said:NOPE - not cluing me in. Was agreeing with where "you" were coming from -
but adding more to it as to how things are "treated". I don't like seeing
the liberties disappearing anymore than the next guy - but I do understand
why. As someone pointed out - a "lit cigarette" can be used as a delay
fuse - it is all in how you look at it. You can go silly with it or look at
it sensibly. Like the "Anthrax" scare - some old grannies here in town
thought someone placed some on their porch. Now come on - we all know -
those little old ladies weren't a target. SOME just take it to the extremes.
I DO understand what you're saying.
