[Noisebridge-discuss] red laser diode module group order

[Don French]

As far as permanent blindness goes, that is correct.  But there are cases
where people have (stupidly) shined a <5mW laser into their eye at close
range for several seconds and received a scotoma (blind spot).  But even in
those cases, they all fully recovered within 3-6 months.
