Welch is scheduled to be sentenced by Senior United States District Judge Robert J. Timlin on September 15.

??? Why the 5 month delay in sentencing?

I for the life of me don’t understand how they catch people doing this. Does anyone have any insight on how they catch people pointing lasers at ac?

I enjoy mucking about with lasers and other forms of potentially dangerous technology as much as the next fellow, which is why I think the judge should throw the book at this guy. Aiming a laser at an airliner is either increadibly stupid or evil. Either way, throw the book at him.

My BIL is a helicopter pilot for a police department in Orange County. Lasers are a problem because they temporarily blind the pilot...if the pilot is in a crucial maneuver when that happens then something wicked can happen. IMO this guy is just one that got caught and they are spanking him accordingly.
