Looks like that baby is safe. Nothing to worry about.


There are counters with handheld laser scanner. And those handheld
scanners are NOT placed carefully to avoid customers, at least I saw
that in Hong Kong.

Did they do it deliberately? Is it a secret laser experiment? Well...


That beam is moving so fast that the dwell time on the retina is really,
really short--probably tens of microseconds. That helps a lot.
