Re: laser pointer
Off the shelf red laser pointers, while annoying, cannot really cause perminant eye damage. The time it would take to damage the retna is longer than the time it takes for the blink reflex to kick in.
Green lasers, or higher power red lasers (Class IIIb and above) can cause perminant damage, but I doubt any teams would use them.
