You ask if they're dangerous?  Ever wonder why the clerks
ring fresh fruits and vegetables by hand...?  ((I see melted
bananas, sprouts catching fire, boiled oranges...))  I can't
believe OSHA lets the clerks stand so close to the laser
units or that innocent customers, like yourself, can be
zapped accidentally!  You're lucky you weren't maimed.  _MS
