Brady had a laser pointer in his face on at least a few plays last night

[Deberg_1990]

Shameful....

Our photographer, Turner Twyman, caught someone pointing what appears to be a laser pointer in Tom Brady's face last night. Play between the "muff" that wasn't and Sorensen int. @NFL, @Patriots and @Chiefs all told me they weren't aware of the incident. pic.twitter.com/ejWBQ6i64C

It happened one other time that we've seen on a pass to Hogan. #Chiefs #Patriots pic.twitter.com/27QkYf0m9P

Moral of the story: Brush your teeth and floss and Question what a Periodontist says about toy lazers. He is an

Honorary Member of the American Laser Study Club (ALSC). Dr. Cobb’s widely known adherence to the science of periodontology is very much in line with the ALSC’s mission to revive true science- and evidence-based education in laser dentistry and surgery.

Go **** yourself, what part of, "Plus it's Tom Brady and the ****ing Pats, nobody gives a shit. Those assholes deserve anything they get" don't you get?

Go back to Boston and breed more terrorists. Other than the Pats cheating, it's the only other thing you all are best at.

Someone missed their anger management class today lol

Patsy trolls still here? Figured they would be trolling the lamb boards by now. They must like the friendly confines of CP. Howdy y'all! BTW, shame on anyone that was trying to Lasik the cataracts off of old Tommy boy. That should only be done in the doctor's office. Have to be careful with that. You ruin Tommy's vision and he could end up french-kissing his wife instead of his son. We can't have that now!

They're probably doing both.

Scientific American



In FDA-regulated pointers, the laser power limit is set at one-tenth the actual threshold of damage. If a person sees a bright light, they will automatically blink, on the average in less than 0.2 seconds. This is referred to as the blink reflex, and it is considered when the limit is assigned for how much power will cause an eye injury. By the way, you shouldn't force a stare at a laser, just like you shouldn't stare at the sun or any bright light source.

Possible more potentially damaging -- although not to the eye -- is that a regular pointer laser can overwhelm the eye with light, typically called flash blindness. If a person is walking a rocky path, operating machinery, a vehicle or aircraft, this temporary loss of vision could cause injury or disaster. At night, when the pupil is most open, the effects would be magnified.

I would mostly agree with what you said. For low powered laser pointers, there is a low risk of blindness. However, the article you referred to is talking about red laser pointers, green laser pointers are a much different story.

1) Cheap green laser pointers do not emit just a clean 532nm line. Green laser ponters are DPSS lasers. An 808nm infrared diode pumps a NdYV04 crystal which emits a 1064nm beam. That beam enters a KTP crystal and gets frequency doubled to produce the visible 532nm green beam that you see from the laser pointer. If proper filtering isn't applied, and in cheap laser pointers, it often isn't, then the infrared light being emitted from the laser pointer can be up to 10x higher than the rated output power.

2) Green is also absorbed more readily by the human eye than red. In fact, a green laser with the same output power as a red laser is 30x more visible. The green 'cone' in your eye is most sensitive at 535nm. Green lasers output 532nm light.

3) It is ridiculously easy to get a high powered green laser. A search on alibaba will bring back a ton of >5mW handheld lasers. These lasers are class IIIb which can cause eye damage pretty quickly. The Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD) for a lower-powered 50 mW Class 3B visible-beam laser with a tight beam (0.5 milliradian divergence) is 330 ft.

I've worked on a few lasers in my time. Still no eye damage.

All I hear you saying is for under $50 and a motorcycle battery we can be armed with a photon torpedo.....

Hmm, might cost more than $50. For maximum effectiveness, I saw we just buy a high powered military grade solid-state laser, mount it to a hummer and park it in the lot. With a couple of mirrors in the stadium, we could direct the beam onto something and vaporize it. Also, as an added bonus, most of those lasers are infrared, so you wouldn't see anything except fire and smoke.



I'm sure it couldn't cost that much.

A hummer might stand-out in the crowd.

If we can get the Air Force to help free America of these kid-kissing rat bastards, I know they have the technology... And have has it since the 80s....

So it turns out that I'm facebook friends with a relative of this person, who was actually with him that night at the game. Uggghhh....

Lee's Summit man cited with shining laser pointer at Tom Brady during AFC title game

KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
A citation has been issued against a fan after a laser pointer was aimed at New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady during the AFC Championship game against the Chiefs in January.

Dwyan Morgan, of Lee’s Summit, was cited with disturbing the peace, a municipal violation.

The charge is punishable by up to a year in jail or a fine up to $1,000.

Morgan is scheduled to appear in municipal court on July 17.

The NFL said after the incident happened that the fan was banned from Arrowhead Stadium.

[Rain Man]

Did he learn how to use lasers by reading the "Science is Fun" thread?

[BryanBusby]

Did someone typo that name or what

Must unfriend now.
