PDRI says:
I posted an analysis with the power density numbers showing that the problem was unlikely to be as significant as suggested

His theory focuses upon lasers aimed at airliners at height.

The evidence from around the world shows that, in practice, airliners are predominantly targeted when they are on approach to or departing from airports.
The former more often than the latter.

There is a significant problem.
Suggesting that there is not is ridiculous.
