I'd be willing to be that placing a semi-reflective glass wedge in the optical path ahead of the scope's front lens would defeat such laser detection systems. Any incoming light not reflected off the wedge's front surface (and perhaps trapped in an adjoining baffle) would almost surely be reflected off the wedge's other front surface denying the laser's operator enough of a return signal to work with. That the lasers are probably working in the IR (so as not to be easily detectable by the snipper) makes the wedge even easier to use as it needn't appreciably reduce the visible component most useful to the sniper.

This probably isn't ready for prime time, being in development maybe a year ago, and isn't mentioned in the article, so you're probably safe taking your time, sighting in. BMGMonger ----------------------------------------------------- Here in my stack of oddball periodicals I have a copy of the July/August 1998 issue of Revue Aerospatiale A french aerospace journal, wherein we have an article Lasers: Hard-Hitting Watchdogs The best way to dissuade snipers is to deprive them of their impunity by ensureing they know that their exact location has been pinpointed. CILAS demonstrated this at Eurosatory with its directed-optics laser detector- the first production unit intended ultimately for delivery to the French army. This ground-breaking technology can be expected to bring other developments in its wake. It goes on; Quietly, free from media hype, things (this is in ref to background on why snipers are bad) have suddenly changed since a prototype of the SLD400 was received by the French armed forces. Behind this mundane designation lurks a device capable of detecting, locating and indentifying the optics with which snipers are equipped. More; The scope of application of the SLD400 is much wider and can include the protection of VIPs and pinpointing sharpshooters of the binoculars of terrorists preparing criminal acts. (it actually says that) The article goes on to describe building databases of specific optical device signature and such. So that they not only know that you are there, they also know what you have deployed to better asses threat level and so on. Assume they know, always.

> Now -- how do we get consumer protection laws that make it clear that a > consumer is not liable for any debts incurred by someone claiming to be > him/her ... Having recently been on the receiving end of identity theft, I'm a bit more optimistic than Carl. I solved my problem by reading the back page of the credit report, where it provided addresses of the federal agencies that regulate collection bureaus, banks, and similar organizations. Letters to the agencies resulted in one "opening a case" and, eventually, a letter of apology from the bank in question (who hadn't answered my previous requests/complaints). I used an account record book -- a bound notebook with numbered pages -- that had dated notes of every interaction I had with the banks and credit card agencies, interspersed with software notes, interesting URL's, telemarketing caller numbers, and other scribbles.
