...I am told that some of those military grade lazer thingy's can blind ya permanently in a short time. The little ones ya can buy in the checkout line at a grocery store are merely annoying. Still, not a good idea to point em at anyone.

LA Laser Strike

LOS ANGELES — The Federal Aviation Administration says a pilot reported visual impairment after a laser struck an airliner landing at Los Angeles International Airport.

FAA spokesman Ian Gregor says the laser strike occurred early Wednesday as US Airways Flight 674 was just east of Santa Monica at 9,000 feet.

The Airbus A321 was arriving from Phoenix.
Earlier this month, the FBI began offering rewards of $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of anyone who threatens aircraft in a laser attack.

In 2013 the FAA reported nearly 4,000 laser strikes.
In March a 26-year-old man was sentenced to 14 years in prison after being convicted of shining a laser pointer at a Fresno police helicopter and a hospital helicopter.
