Back to the OT...
I was zapped by a laser at night a few months ago whilst downwind to a major airport.
Fortunately recognising what was going on, control was handed over to the other guy, whilst looking away from the source.
It seems that an ability to pull over a completely blacked-out blind on the side windows would be a better solution than anything we have at present.
It is less likely that someone could be dazzled through the front windows unless the beam is directly in front, such as during final approach.
Notwithstanding trying to pinpoint, apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators, are the aircraft manufacturers looking at this, since this is becoming a more frequent occurrence?
What are the regulators doing?
