Easy at 10,000 Feet.
For $95 you can tag these things. Please read my post above.
I'm afraid your assumptions are not correct that you have been posting in this thread.
Any decent Class 3a Laser for $95 can do amazing things. I use one for Astronomy quite often, especially in the desert and on campouts as well as the backyard.
I am also an FAA Licensed Pilot, have read the studies on this, and low and behold as professional as you think pilots are, they quite often make mistakes, and unless you understand the federal codes, the FAA regulations, Notams, etc.... I suggest you stick to opinion.
The FBI also concluded these are not Terrorists but only a bunch of mischief or accidents.
And if some pilot flies through my beam at 10,000 while I'm stargazing and pointing out stars and constellations too bad. They don't own the sky.
When I've seen an aircraft's lights I have not used it. Mine is one that you have to continually press a button and should not be used for great amounts of time.
This is as stupid as some people wanting to ban Flight Simulators after 9/11.
How many accidents have there been. NONE, ZERO, NADA....
Now how many Bird Strikes have caused accidents. I've come close more than a couple of times.
All you have now are ignorant Pilots reporting every green LEGAL Ligth they see in the sky, even if it is 11 miles away as some yahoo reported.
These Ignorant Pilots and the LSM (lame Straem Media) should educate themselves on the current rules, and laws, and keep within those.
For pete's sake, they interrogated some guy until 5am for using one in his backyard and didn't break any laws because barney Fife was an ignorant idiot that had no clue.

Joe
I'm a lay person who never even heard of this stuff until recently. Your post, however, is most informative. Thanks.
