I wanted to make up some BS story to go along with the pics, but sadly I'm at work... and working.

Not a laser. Just a BASL.

I guess the float planks could ride up and down the piers with the tide.

I grew up not far from there. That's a US Navy weapons/ordnance loading pier in Middletown, NJ, at the southernmost point of New York Harbor. It's nearly 2.3 miles/3.5 km long out from shore, I guess to minimize collateral damage in case they have an "Oh, sh--" moment while loading ammo on the ships.............The ammo storage area itself is about 15 miles inland.

I am not the one you need to worry about. Seahawk and his buddies are based near there, carry ordinance onboard and could follow that beam right on down to its source.

I would just send the guys in dark suits to the house. SeaHawk could ruin your whole day just with the push of a button...
