Sir, an over-reaction you may say, but last year, inbound to LHR and descending to intercept the localiser for 09L, we were scanned on the starboard side from a point NW of Bracknell.
Both of my eyes were momentarily blinded and irritable for a few seconds thereafter. Had this occurred on short finals the outcome could most definitely have been somewhat different.
I hope they catch the imbecile (s) and throw the key (s) away.
