He describes this as an indiscriminate offensive move which seems likely to interfere with recording the person with the laser, and potentially blind Google Glass users. By mailing one to the children of every Google executive (likely to be Google Glass users), he's clearly aiming to disrupt the entire Google Glass project. Silicon Valley is a place where many technologically up-to-date people live who are more likely to use Google Glass. |

He pretends that his terrorism is actually a viral marketing campaign, but seems to have not thought this excuse through. He then tries to get them to look into a laser light. | + | The "viral marketing campaign" excuse seems to play off how battery-powered LED placards were mistaken for terrorism in the {{w|2007 Boston bomb scare}}.
