Sadly, I agree Sand Dune, it's hard enough to catch these massive F$#@wits so when they are, they should be punished and severely so. I've been lasered in Singapore quite badly on a 3 mile final, Beijing multiple times on one approach, but of course it was actually clear, the pollution takes care of it quite well
and into Karachi, so it's a widespread problem and it quite a serious one at that.
