The question is:  How easy/difficult will this be to jam?  I know
virtually nothing about this technology (other than the obvious), but,
wouldn't creating "light noise" (i.e.  Have your own wide-beam laser
strapped to the front of your car sending all sorts of bizarre patterns
and such), much the same as RF noise for Radar applications,
effectively jam the "laser radar"?   Seems easy, and also seems as though
the FCC couldn't control it.

Then again, I spoze if this were possible the Navy wouldn't be using it?
