Abstract
We investigate the possibility of observing strong interactions of lon gitudinally polarized weak vector bosons in the process gammagamma --> ZZ at a photon linear collider. We make use of polarization of the ph oton beams and cuts on the decay products of the Z bosons to enhance t he signal relative to the background of transversely polarized ZZ pair s. We find that the background overwhelms the signal unless there are strong resonant effects, as for instance from a technicolor analogue o f the hadronic f2(1270) meson.
