   On laser?  I'm sure it is as great as Automobile claims (perfect score),
   but my real-life experience:  every time it's gone off it would have
   been too late (had I been speeding at the time.)  I think it would have
   to be a very unusual circumstance for this feature to actually save you.

   Some of the physicists on this List have been saying this all along,

As with "triggered" (aka "instant on") radar [and notwithstanding the
allegations that you *can* outbrake triggered radar], yeah, if you're
shot, you're shot.

*However* -- in both cases you can also pick up other victims' being
shot, and modify your own behavior appropriately.

Further, it's always nice to know when the State is irradiating you
with assorted wavelengths.

And, finally, Reality(tm) doesn't even enter into the toy junky's
equation . . .
