Yet another case of turnabout is fair play. Catch them - and make them drive a mountain pass at night and then shoot lasers at them. If they drive off a cliff- maybe the next moron will learn.

Sorry, just in case you weren't paying attention during the Trump years, MORONS CAN'T LEARN!! That's why they keep making the same insane claims and follow the same cult leaders. They are incapable of learning (or admitting guilt or culpability for that matter)!!

Hard to tell who the "morons" are in that post.

IQ can't be a determinant. There are millions on both sides of the contentious issues.

Has to be the mass formation psychosis.

I maintain censorship, violence and approval of harse punishment for those who disagree politically are in the wrong.

Call me crazy. :)

Fines are not enoug! Jail time. Mandatory minimum, no limit on maxi -mum. It is a committed life threatening crime! More than brandishing a firearm; it is aim - fire discharge of a lethal weapon.

I reported a laser illumination to the FA on departure from ORD a couple of years ago. Green laser that appeared to originate from a residential area. Hopefully that made it to the pilot and FAA.

The report, not the laser strike.;)

If you’re caught shining a laser at a plane or a helicopter on purpose, it can be costly. Fines can top $11,000 for the first violation and up to nearly $31,000 for several violations.
except in seattle. where you will be released after booking.
sgt. doofus tim meyer should be ashamed of himself for talking so tough.

Must be your own government blocking it. The link works here in Canada.

Does anyone doubt that a laser-using antifa-stronghold that tolerates these vermin also has a high incidence of these strikes?

One would hope they would be charged with attempted murder.

A pilot I follow on TikTok had to deal with a laser at Sea-Tac last week.

Every plane needs to be equipped with cheap plastic retro reflectors. These are highly efficient at reflecting the laser light back to the source at high levels blinding the culprit(s). These 2" to 4" retro-reflectors are commonly attainable at any industrial control supply store. They are less than $5 each, self-adhesive and durable. 6-8 of them on the bottom and sides of any plane would be an effective deterrent to these insane and dangerous pranks.

Nah. They aren't accurate enough to keep the laser beam tight enough to impact the culprit(s), although they'll light up nicely when they're hit. Wrong incentive.

Or just a few guided misspells that lock in on the laser and take out the culprit.

That was supposed to say missiles. Sorry I should have proofread.
