absolutely imbecile. and i mean both, the thugs AND lawmakers. people get groped at security and lasering an a/c is a matter of a modest fine. god take yer thrash back!!!
Maybe we should call it a "device for mass destruction", but only if we call 200 people a mass. The laws are there it's up to the arresting officer and the prosecutor to charge them properly.
Locating and catching these perpetrators is a difficult task at best. It may be simpler and less costly to develop a windshield material or a coating that would absorb or reflect the light frequencies of green lasers
Banning the sale of laser pointers won't solve anyhing....they will buy one black market or build it...the problem is uncontroled people with no fear of reprisals. Make and enforce laws and people will change.
LGA, BWI: all the same. We have the same yoyo's here. They use pointers on State Police choppers and airline equipment alike. As for no laws or penalties, check wit a lawyer. There are probably a bunch of statutes, state and federal that they violate. It's a matter of enforcement.
Nobody mentionned terrorists ! If they hijacked 4 aircrafts in 2001 as if they had walked into a Walmart, they can certainly make use of this cheap "weapon". Of course, I hope they won't...
forget due process. The perpetrators should be shot as terrorists
