It is now nearly certain that a recent attack impacting attendees of a Trump rally in Arizona was carried out via the deployment of a handheld UV laser device, battery powered, silent, and invisible to the naked eye. US Secret Service should be checking for suspicious purchases of extremely high-powered laser diodes (in the Watts range, not just milliwatts) from China or other sources, in the 250nm - 315nm wavelength range, and understanding that 254nm is widely considered "germicidal," which means there are many purchases of such UV laser diodes by hospitals and medical applications, especially in the post-COVID world, so it may be extremely difficult to separate a malicious purchase of UV laser devices from legitimate medical purchases.
