Reminds me of the old warning/attention sign over a termination rack...
WARNING: Do not look into laser with remaining eye.
The only problem with those funny signs is they scare remote hands techs into never looking at a fiber because they don't want to try and understand the difference between a SX GBIC and a class 3 ultra longhaul amp.
Honestly, that is probably better. Kinda like never pointing a gun at anyone, whether you think it is loaded or not. Put another way: I don't trust many H&E techs to know the difference between an SX GBIC and a Buck Rogers Laser Cannon. Besides, lots of lasers these days are infrared, so you can't see them anyway.
