// Class Description:
//
// A G4VBiasingInteractionLaw representing the "interaction" law
// for a force free flight, ie, a particle which does not interact.
// It is a limit case for which the non-interaction probability over
// a segment is always 1, and the effective cross-section always
// zero. This singular behavior is signaled by the IsSingular()
// method returning always true.
//
// Author: Marc Verderi, November 2013.
