Then I think it's great that the media are publicizing the fact that, if
you
lase pilots, you might get arrested and subjected to a great deal of
trouble and
expense.

Even though you haven't harmed anyone. They might note that. Wait until
someone gets arrested while using a laser pointer to explain basic astronomy
to kids. Won't that be news!
