But a pilot told me that the sall beam disperses a bit at altitude

Get yourself a 50x power telescope. Go out near some airport (preferably one with some commercial jet traffic as us gnats only approach at 80 MPH or so) and see if you can ever see into a cockpit or view a pilot's face. Then come back and report to us.

Are you kidding me? If you can see any windows at all, you can hit them with a laser...and that means laser light inside the cockpit.

I do not think that is the point he was making. But maybe we should just let everybody shine their laser pointers at airliners at the same time, which should make for some very "pretty" landings. Duh.
