Since it's very convenient to get a powerful laser pointer ( mainly are green laser pointers), many issues occurred these years.The main issue is shining a laser beam at plane which will cause a terrible results to people's life and safety,so, if you have a laser pointer,never shine it at a vehicle.

Oakland County Sheriff's Office chopper pilot Bill Christensen told state legislators Tuesday that "shining a laser pointer at a plane or helicopter can have "deadly consequences," he urging support for bills that would make it a felony to intentionally shine lasers at any aircraft.

Last week,after a county helicopter was hit by a green laser pointer(more about green laser: http://www.htpow.com/300mw-green-high-power-laser-pointer-waterproof-adjustable-holster-p-1038.html ) beam three times near Commerce Township,Sheriff Mike Bouchard called for legislative action. On Friday night,Michigan State Police suspect a single individual flashed a laser at three airplanes and one of their helicopters preparing to land at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

Violators would be guilty of a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000.New legislation, sponsored by Reps. Laura Cox and Tom Barrett, would prohibit a person from intentionally aiming "a beam of directed energy emitted from a direct energy device" at an aircraft or into the path of an aircraft.

"It becomes very bright.This issue comes in the aircraft and it's refracted. The field of Laser Engraver vision can be tremendously compromised. At certain altitudes it can engulf and blind the entire cockpit."Christensen said in testimony before the House Committee on Law and Justice."We may think lasers are relatively weak light source on the ground, but when it reaches a cockpit of a helicopter or airplane it's magnified by the plexiglass window."

Nowadays, with the rapaid development of laser engraver technology,high powered laser pointers are more easily to get.But you should only use those Red Laser Pointer at some safety fileds rather than shine its beam at a plane or helicopter.Before you but a laser pointer, you should always keep careful and use it at the correct place such as teching,guiding,poting or use those lasers at outdoor activities as a burning laser pointer.You can also use it to send SOS signal when you are in trouble rather than shining the airport.
