Yep, lasers are cool and all, but blinding people, especially people flying aircraft is not.

It’s hard to believe how dumb people can be. Then I remember that he was probably one of the 10,000 on that day.

Let’s hope the others don’t learn the hard way.

hard to justify the word “man” when they’re 20 and doing this kind of act

You’re only young once, but you can be immature forever.

I guess so, but he could have learned by reading the big scary warnings on the laser.

As far as I know, the big scary warnings on the laser pointer don’t say anything about not pointing it at aircraft. They do warn about shining it in people’s eyes. Unfortunately, the people who do stupid things like this aren’t smart enough to put two and two together.

Not sure if it is in the article, but... It’s also a surefire way to get onto an FBI watch list. All laser incidents are reported to the agency.

They’ll get a laser in return...
