I had an experience this summer that led me to think about pilot's awareness of the problem. Circling the circuit to land near Milan, I was passenger just behind the wing (night time). I was hit by a green light and it continued to span the side windows entering the cabin and creating some funny light game. When the acft turned for the final, laser entered from the opposite side. It continued for several minutes. The origin was clearly visible in a group of enlighted building on the ground. No FF/AA thought about a problem, they were going their dues until "cabin crew prepare for landing".
While disembarking I asked to talk to the F/O neare the exit, told him about the problem and he told me "don't know, maybe some disco lights". It was a monday night.
Maybe everyone wanted to go to bed asap, I was disappointed nevertheless.
