Also, since the FCC does not cover the light spectrum (yet(unless it is in fiber optic cables?)) it is ostensibly legal to "jam" laser by emitting on that frequency (or close to it)(you'd probably still get a ticket for something, maybe even a criminal charge for conspiracy). This actually turns out to be highly effective against this technology but the current crop of laser jammers seems to be license plate frames, and if you have a red GTS you can always out-run the laser from behind...
