This screams "urban myth", just like the rest of the lidar defeating stuff i've heard before. Chances are they will aim for your front plate, if you have one... it's a nice flat surface that reflects pretty well. Also note that the beam is not _that_ tight- even at a range of a few hundred feet, the beam is a few inches wide. By a mile, it's 30 feet wide. A CD won't absorb that much laser energy, and also remember... CD's are meant to REFLECT lasers... otherwise the CD player would not be able to read it! -- John Caldwell [email protected] _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
