Laser in cockpit, caught one

I had an apache shine a laser at me once. I was driving my car down a rural highway when a chopper popped up above the trees. My laser detector started squealing like crazy. Either it was a hell of a coincidence, or I'm really glad he didn't hit the wrong button.

I hope that wasn't the case. The laser designator on the Apache isn't eye safe and I'd like to think no one would do that to some poor dude driving down the road. Outside of combat Apaches are only supposed to employ the laser on designated ranges.

With that said I've been lased a few times myself and often thought of burning the perpetrators retinas out.
