So how come all pranksters suddenly decided, totally independently of each other, to start shining light at pilots, about a month after the FBI warned, that terrorists will try to use lasers to bring down planes?

Because we have television and the Internet which spread information around the world instantly.

"Mineta said that about 400 laser incidents have been reported since 1990. He suggested the recent rash of incidents was the work of copycats."
400 incidents in 15 years, that's 27 incidents a year.
We just had 31 incidents in 12 DAYS.

It is long past time for Mineta to be surgically removed for the Cabinet. Laser surgery?

I wonder if Dr. Evil's sharks with lasers are involved?

It would be fairly inexpensive to mount an array of, say, 24 tiny retro-reflectors under the nose of each plane to zap the perps right back (and to help locate them with their own damn laser)! Check
THESE out.

I wonder, is it possible to put a filter on the windows to block a laser?

But, but, but... ALL the Muslims in America are good and peaceful and moderate and the very best of citizens and patriotic and better than you and I and are only silent because they are quiet folks who mostly keep to themselves.
I am absolutely sure that any destructive moves against air traffic or any part of America's infrastructure or innocent unarmed Americans would have absolutely NOTHING to do with our dear, sweet Muslim neighbors or the Religion of bloodthirsty Peace!
Can't we all just wait until the last infidel throat is slit before we start getting so suspicious?

they know it.
they don't want us taking 'matters' into our own hands.
so they lie, misdirect and obfiscate.
