More Nastiness From Tom Cruise Movie Security Guys

Last week fans in Austria were lined up to watch the filming of Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz's latest movie. As they wrapped their hands on the barriers designed to keep them away, a group of security guards from the movie punched the fingers of the fans. Several of the fans were injured.

This week the security guards decided to ratchet things up even more. Two Austrian photographers asked the film crew where they could take pictures of the movie. The crew told the photographers that they could not be on set but could shoot from any surrounding area. So, the two photographers set up in an apartment of a friend overlooking the shoot and started taking pictures. At one point during the shoot, security guards shot a laser at one of the photographers and it severely damaged his eyesight and slightly damaged the eyesight of the other photographer in the room.

We had been there about three hours - it was the flat of a friend on the fifth floor - when I suddenly saw a blinding light through the lens.

Salzburg police are investigating it as an assault and a doctor said the two had their eyesight reduced by the incident. Both photographers are still suffering from headaches.

The light hurts my eyes and I am just looking at a photograph of it. Can you imagine getting that shot right into your eye? I'm surprised their eyes were not permanently damaged. The person who allegedly did it was Cameron's main security person. I wonder if he was hired by her, the production company or if Tom arranged for some people to come over from the local COS.
