FWIW, I think the ACTUAL DANGER posed by these things (and the clots who wield them) is close to zero.
Not all lasers are equal..... I've had, on two occations, airliners asking to get taken off an arrival sequence to sort themselvs out a bit due to disorientation from laser. Both times on final, but still outside 10nm.
I've allso worked in a tower where a 412SP got hit with green laser while doing circuits on NVG, causing them to go off goggles.
