Point That Laser Elsewhere, Please
Have you ever played with those tiny little lasers that are so much fun to point against a wall? Well according to CNN.com a spike in the incidence of people pointing lasers into the cockpits of planes has the Federal Aviation Administration worried and encouraging public vigilance. This might sound like a silly problem but nevertheless it's a problem and a serious one at that according to FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt. These tiny lasers are dangerous because they can distract a pilot or even temporarily blind the pilot when he/she is attempting to land or take off. There are 2,200 instances that have been reported due to these lasers according to CNN.com. Pointing a laser in an airplane cockpit is a federal crime. A Rhode Island man was arrested on two counts of shining the tiny laser into a Continental Airlines flight. He faces 20 years in jail and a $250,000 fine.
