        Aircraft don’t always have transponders on so can’t rely on flight trackers

        Imagine blinding a [military] pilot even just for the briefest moment. We can’t keep them in the sky on a good day for reasons I don’t understand (they’ll hit commercial aircraft or vice versa!)

        Places like Santa Cruz simply fought these spy cams with their voices. Riseeee upppp, no votes for any city councilpeople who are OK Flocking up their own turf

      Also give eye protection to literally everyone else who might be standing anywhere in the reflective range of the cover, lens, mirrors, and any shiny metallic objects. These lasers can do damage before you even blink.

      e: This includes non-human animals as well. If you’re okay with potentially blinding a bunch of innocent corvids I guess that’s on you.
