They could have done this long ago. I am sure this laser technology has been around for a while. I am not sure how much of a threat these shoulder fired rockets actually are. I thought there would have been more attempts at taking these planes down with these already. I know here in Las Vegas the planes fly very low over many areas. The article makes it sound like the rockets are very inexpensive. Seems a lot easier than hijacking a plane. Thank god for our scientist with "big" heads and many advanced toys hidden way out in the Southern Nevada desert. Personally, I feel safe. How safe do you feel?
