Interesting discussion on the difficulty of doing this in a way that would
be truly dangerous http://www.reason.com/hitandrun/2004...e.shtml#007888 "Stewart Kissel" wrote in message ... http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050105/D87DUR3O0.html From reading this...it sounds like the beamn bounces into the cockpit once it comes through the glass. The guy doing this was no Einstein...he used the laser on the helicopter looking for him. At 00:31 05 January 2005, For Example John Smith wrote: I haven't understood this 'threat' since I first heard about it. Please ''splain it to me Lucy'. How does someone on the ground shine a laser into an aircraft cockpit? Up high, almost every angle to the cockpit is blocked by the plane itself. Down low, most angles are still blocked because of the nose high attitude of the plane. Wouldn't you have to be ABOVE, or at least level with, the plane in order to shine a laser into the cockpit? Shining it into the pilots eyes would be even harder because the pilot sits back some distance from the windshield. Help me out--I don't get it 'Stewart Kissel' wrote in message ... http://www.dailyrecord.com/news/arti...ews2-laser.htm This kinda stuff drives me nuts.... When people are either to ignorant, or think they can get away with something, that is not okay. 'Hey dad, lets go shine the laser at some more planes tonight, sure is fun' The can lock up the whole family as far as I am conerned |

Dumb? Yes? Annoying? Yes? A danger? Probably not? Have any of us in our youthful ignorance done anything just as stupid? Adults on the other hand should be taken to the cleaners. IMHO IMHO IMHO IMHO IMHO IMHO IMHO IMHO IMHO |

This guy is in a world of trouble. The government has to come down hard on
him. If nothing else he better be squeaky clean, he invited big brother into his house! Douglas |

And to show how serious they are, the FAA has issued an Advisory
Circular on how to report an incident of "laser tracking of your airplane". AC 70-2, issued January 11, 2005. Saw it on the printer at work yesterday. Steve Leonard |

Hi,
The government has to come down hard on him. The same government that is currently testing lasers as a means of signalling to aircraft that violate the Washington DC ADIZ?
