“Are you actually arguing that it’s ok to shine lasers at aircraft?”
Actually I’m not arguing any such thing. Do you just male things up? I’m only pointing out that the fuss is over hyped. There are a lot of lasers pointed skyward many of them powerful.
Targeting an aircraft with a laser is a federal felony. There are tens of millions of these $5 gadgets out there and many if not most at some point will be pointed into the sky. Then there’s the crazy kid problem where they think it’s fun...
The bottom line is that they do not blind pilots and do not cause plane crashes. If they did you wouldn’t be able to buy one. Close up according to the FAA: <1000 feet they can be disruptive. So can a 22 at even more so at eve greater range and there are tens of millions of them out there too.
And no, excrement head, I’m not suggesting that one should be able to shoot at aircraft with 22’s... I
Anyway, I’m tired of chatting with you.
“The bottom line is that they do not blind pilots”
Well we sure learned that you can’t admit when you’re wrong. I provide you credible links when you said it couldn’t be done. The NTSB used terms like “incapacitated”, “sustained an eye injury”, “burning sensation and tearing”. I guess the NTSB is wrong? Not credible?
Gee, how was I able to predict that you were still not going to be convinced? Maybe because you’ve show to all here on freerepublic what you are...
