   "As with all weapons, there is potential for inflicting collateral damage," says Tom Burris, a scientist in the Lockheed Laser Program. But he says eye damage is about the only side effect of laser use; conventional weapons are more likely to miss their targets, and their blast effects cover larger areas.
   
   Laser-armed planes could pick their targets. "For example, instead of attacking the hood of the car, you might go after the tyres because the chances of a reflection hitting the driver are less," Burris told New Scientist.
   
   Protective goggles
   
   The US is working on special protective goggles for its soldiers, and other countries will do likewise if the US deploys laser weapons - although they will need to know the laser's wavelength.
   
   But that will not protect civilians from stray reflections if a beam misses its target and hits a town, say. And scattered beams could be powerful enough to damage sight many kilometres away.
