I know there was a thread on this topic on pprune before, but I can't find it.

The thread started from this incident, when a man was arrested for "tagging" an aircraft and initially said his 7-year-old duaghter had done it before saying, yes he was the one.

NEWARK, N.J. — A man charged with temporarily blinding the pilot and co-pilot of an airplane with a laser beam claims he was simply using the device to look at stars with his 7-year-old daughter.
It could lead to a temporary loss of night vision, as well as being a distraction.
