Not to belittle the concerns, but I don't think Chinese military l@ser weapons are the sort of thing openly available to chavs living under Manchester flight corridors.
Are you a pilot? I doubt it. Do you hand fly approaches in anything serious? With hundreds of lives behind you? At night? Do you actually understand what these idiots firing lasers at us could potentially do?

Edited to add: I fly from Manchester. I have not been targeted but several of my colleagues have. This is not a joking matter about Chinese Mil lasers - lasers capable of blinding and causing untold carnage are available on the net / ebay for less than £100.
