It started with planes being 'targeted' and then it was pointed out that laser can't bend and hencefore unless you were above the planes it was impossiable to get the pilots in the eyes.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1204335That is bullshit. It is very possible for a person on the ground to shine into a pilot's eyes. For me this is a very serious issue because you deliberately interfere with the safe operation os an aircraft. A pilot will be distracted, temporarily blinded and he will lose his night vision which won't fully return untill 30 minutes later. These 2 images demostrate how a laser is seen from the cockpit: [ link to www.pangolin.com] [ link to www.pangolin.com]
