Aircraft Laser Incidents Pinned on Gay Club-Goers
FBI agents have traced recent laser incidents, in which lasers have been aimed at airplanes and helicopters, to an unusual source: gay nightclubs. The green beams, say laser wielders, aren’t for terrorism but for shining a light on club ‘hotties.’
For one gay couple, night out ends in handcuffs
By Todd Fox
CLEVELAND, OH—Paco Garcia and his boyfriend Thom Feldman often joke that after a night of sweat and dancing at The Grid, Cleveland's premier gay hot spot, they are open to encounters with strange men. But this weekend, when the two men found themselves surrounded by strangers, their new friends weren’t gay men looking for a good time. They were FBI agents.

• The Hide and Seek Complex, Colorado Springs, CO. On Dec. 27, two pilots reported that green pulsating laser lights were shone into their cockpits as they were approaching the Colorado Springs airport. Both the passenger plane and a cargo plane landed without incident.
• Bricks Club, Salt Lake City, UT. In September, a Delta Air Lines pilot reported an eye injury from a laser beam shone into the cockpit during a landing approach in Salt Lake City.

One on takeoff.
Interesting.
And did I read that right that the green laser lights were traced to clubs?
I had heard that they were no longer allowed as search lights, as in light the sky for a grand opening.
I haven't seen one, but didn't they invent laser light shows?
Pretty sure there was a report that they had been stopped.
