     The FCC lost that one in court some years back, I think.  In the
late 1960s, when the first laser data links were being set up in
Cleveland, the people involved looked into this and discovered that
the FCC had lost a case involving "blinking light signals" some time
before.  Lasers are regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
