These bloody laser pointers are out there in their tens of millions.
There will always be idiots who like to point them at aircraft- and no doubt at a great many other things too.
It's a hazard that we all have to deal with and in my opinion that is how it's going to stay no matter how many ASRs you file or how many times you report it. I've reported it lots of times myself, though.
I completely agree that a 'direct hit' in the eye can be a hazard or even injure. Luckily I've only seen the beams and had a few very short 'flashes'- so far.
When I hear 'lazing' reported, I keep my head in.
That works.
It's a hazard that's here to stay though, methinks.
