The level of danger presented by Lasers can be gauged by the incidents reported in real life. To my knowledge Laser illumination has not caused anything other than a minor irritation to the crew, and there must be loads of idiots trying this out. That is not to say that a high power Laser as can be found on the internet could not cause lasting damage but most reports seem to see the flash from the ground and get on with the job in hand. Riding a motorbike is not quite the same game, otherwise napping in flight would not be permitted by my Ops Manual.
