It's a nice thought but unless you're willing to pay for tv commercial advertising, the video professor target audience won't see it.

Ah, good call. I should have stated more clearly-- According to ABC's Nightline, Israel airliners are thought to be equipped with a laser device that that can destroy an incoming missile. I was referring to the implementation of missile-destroying lasers on aircraft, not that particular laser. In fact it is supposedly a device that "jams" an incoming heat-seeking missile, essentially making it think it has hit it's target while still some distance away from the plane. The Israeli government refuses to confirm or deny this allegation. A similar report appeared on 60 minutes, although they refer to the laser-jamming concept and Israeli anti-rocket countermeasures in separate paragraphs: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/11/29/eveningn ews/main531246.shtml I applaud scrutiny of anything written anywhere, doubly so on the internet. I should have been less vague in my original post.
