One assumes they are referring to hand-held lasers, not those built into 
gear.

Given that most Aircraft have laser-ring gyros in them now banning all 
of them would be a problem for the airline industry as well.  :-)

Anyone want to by an old-school HeNe laser tube and power supply before 
they become illegal?

Cheers, Me.
