I think you're simply missing a point.
More and more yobs are getting hold of the same kind of high-power l@sers that are used for 'l@ser shows' etc. (which CAN be handheld and battery powered) and think it's "fun" pointing them at low-flying aircraft and helicopters.
And we're NOT talking about what you call "harmless, low powered key chain l@sers".
And with helicopters in particular, it's not that difficult to "hold the beam on the target".
And with helicopters in particular, with plexiglass canopies "crazed" with a myriad minute scratches and cracks, lighting it up with a l@sers means rendering it opaque...
So please,
rokami, find out what's going on, before you post like you did...
