Maybe It Was Dr.

Maybe It Was Dr. Evil. Good news/bad news on the laser beams aimed at pilots story. Good: The spate of recent incidents is not the work of terrorists, the FBI has concluded. Bad: You can apparently bring down an aircraft from the deck of your house with a laser pointer. Maybe it's time to ban these things. But think of the price we'd pay: Boring public speakers would be forced to use their fingers to highlight trivial facts on their PowerPoint slides.

NEXT STORY: Happy New Year!
