    Huge upsurge in the number of incidents, 4,000 a year and authorities figure far more go unreported.

    Whether punk ass pranksters or serious criminal types, the result to the airline pilots is the same. Talking about shining laser lights into airline pits.

    Here is a report from CNN. A bunch more lasers last night in both Dallas and NY/NJ.
    Has the potential to make planes crash.

    CNN.com puts this out in two minute segments. Rene Marsh the host.

    Here is one of the punks who lasered, a SpursTalk troll type Trevor Rango:

    Here is a site that tracks arrests.
    LaserPointerSafety.com

    This Dallas Morning News article says those who plead guilty tend to get lesser sentences, at least in the Dallas area.

    Nice police work on the Phoenix man.

    Scott Hines 26

    Police say they were notified by the airport around 11 p.m. Wednesday that someone was pointing a green laser at aircraft on approach.
    Pilots flew a police helicopter to the area and acted as if they were making an airport approach and say the aircraft was immediately hit with the green laser.
    The pilots guided patrol officers to an apartment complex where Hines allegedly was spotted with the laser and arrested.

    UPDATED March 17 2015: Balaguer was charged on March 16 2015 in federal court with aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft. This has a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. FAA officials said they had to redirect traffic in and out of LaGuardia on March 9 to avoid going over the Bronx, where Balaguer and Egan lived. Balaguer’s attorney said the suspect “uses methadone every day and takes medication for bipolar disorder”, and that he was “harmless”: “It was stupidity, not venality.” From the Wall Street Journal.
    UPDATED May 5 2015: Balauger pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft. He could face up to five years in prison. The judge said sentencing guidelines call for between 2 and 2 1/2 years. He said sentencing of Balauger would not be routine “Given his psychiatric history, given his apparent lack of any wrongful intent, I can see one set of arguments being made; on the other hand I can see a different set of arguments because of the danger presented,” said the judge. Sentencing was scheduled for September 9 2015. According to the New York Post, Balauger is a disabled ex-heroin dealer who has a history of schizophrenia and left school after ninth grade.

    Shine a laser directly in your eye and let us know how it goes.

    I don't see how the person with the laser can get it directly in their eyes if they're on the ground with the laser.

    I can see how you can't understand that.

    even if the angle was right, it's unlikely that they would be able to aim the laser to get in the pilots eyes for any length of time.

    How long would it take to damage your eye or impair your eyesight?

    Shine a laser in your eye and let us know.

    I don't know how long it would take. I'm not saying it's not criminal.
    Just saying that all this talk about bringing a plan down because of a laser.

    IDK. unlikely. Even from 20 feet, it would be hard to hand hold a laser dot on a target as small as an eye.
    And I'm assuming that the person with the laser can't see what the dot is actually hitting at any given point.

    Again, how long to you think it takes to impair vision with a laser?

    Just shine one in your eyes for half a second and let us know what happens.

    These News Ghetto Birds hover over neighborhoods for hours…Often at night while residents are trying to sleep… They interrupt police trying to do their job…It is a real problem in Los Angeles…

    Who..the ...has the time to do this....and why...THE ?
