Clancy observes further:
I own two (2) of these high-intensity lights, both given to me
by the company which makes them. If you think this data is wild,
wait until you see something I'm going to put in my next book, "Rainbow
Six," concerning a device which tracks people, passively,
at ranges up to 300 meters. I've used the damned thing, and *I*
think it's totally crazy. But it sure as hell works. I've used
it in the presence of a friend who is a recently retired Assistant
Director of the FBI. For those who doubt the effect of the xenon-arc
light, call your local ophthamologist and ask him (or her) what
effect such a light would have on the human eye and nervous system.
