Hi,

Before they do that, they should find where they hid the laser powerful
enough to shine into a cockpit!

Construction workers use fairly powerful lasers for levelling and as
guidance. Easily powerful enough to do permanent damage when viewed right
on.

At least the housings are full of warnings. And that's in germany where we
do not routinely warn not to do clearly Very Stupid Stuff.

It follows that they can probably temporarily blind a pilot at night
over a long distance. At the very least they pose a large unnecessary
distraction at a high workload phase of flight.

Ciao, MM
