Default No laser pointers through security?

That's a modification of a flashlight, not a laser pointer.

And why would that make any difference for an _unmodified_ laser pointer?

And before you say that all laser pointers are dangerous, how do you know that
what looks like an ordinary flashlight isn't a specially modified,
high-powered laser?

Furthermore, how would this mega hand laser be used to incapacitate the crew,
particularly the pilots?
