The Laser forum is provided for the unique aspect of lasers. While having some similarities to other portable lights, it's unique aspects require consideration of hazard and safety in use, and involves legal consideration in application and construction. Different countries may legislate or regulate them differently. In the U.S.A., they are regulated by a regulatory agency. As is the case in regulation vs legislation, the authorized organization responsible may respond to what they view as a need quicker, and more encompassing than specific individual party responsibility of targeted legislation. In other words, regulation reaches not only the specifically guilty, but also enabling parties and agencies. For this reason, the forum may rely more heavily on improvisation of what's permitted or not permitted than the forums that are more heavily rule based, rather than committee opinion (the committee of course are the moderators and administrators).
This forum should permit not only the advantages of a dedicated forum, but also the ability for administration to oversee the activities. Please enjoy the forum, but use it wisely and safely keeping in mind that you don't know who is monitoring these forums and what information they may be gathering about you and/or your activities. It is best to assume that authorities (Homeland Security, etc) are watching... and taking notes.
