Another laser incident!

More and more of these incidents are occurring.........

BBC NEWS | UK | England | Tyne | Easyjet flight targeted by laser

This months Safety Data Listing contains at least 7 lasers & 1 torch.

4 of these incidents were, I suspect, police helicopters, and in each of these cases the brief details include the phrase 'Perpetrators were apprehended'

Bearing in mind the kit that police helicopters carry, shining a laser at them seems a sure fire way to get yourself arrested.

(why doesn't it like the word 'laser'??)

(why doesn't it like the word 'laser'??)

Because a past discussion of the dangers of high powered laser pointers had an ad at the bottom of the page for said high powered laser pointers. As you may know, these ad companies scan the page to determine the topic being discussed so as to put up the most "appropriate" ad (in this case it wasn't).

Thus the filtering.

<<More and more of these incidents are occurring.........>>

Possibly because the incidents are receiving publicity on here?

You think yobs and chavs surf an aviation forum? More chance of them seeing it on the news than on here. Just thought I would start a topic
