A bill making it a third degree felony to aim a laser beam at an operating plane

Weak.  There is a liberal stink fest behind this.  What about the first degree?

a third degree felony to aim a laser beam at an operating plane, train or car

What about people on bicycles or boats? They should outlaw anything that emits photons, including household lightbulbs.

Speaking of which, how many congressional dimbulbs does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Pointing a laser at a car would be a third degree felony and carries a penalty of up to five years in prison.

...and, within a couple of months, the headlines will read:

6 year-old Jessica faces up to five years in prison for pointing her $2 key-chain bob at a passing car. ...

Yup, it makes me feel safer. How about you?

The cops use a laser gadget to clock your speed sometimes... Suppose they point it at your car?

There goes police use of lasers to detect speeders. COOL!
