    I wonder if most of these people don’t even know it’s illegal. Store has a sale on laser pointers and a bunch of kids buy them

    This is a poor use of laser pointers. I would never advise this, especially for planes like elon’s jet and the surveillance planes flying circles, visible on flight plans, over major US cities. Also don’t burn out the sensors in security cameras. That would be naughty.

    I was on a plane to Cairo a couple of weeks ago, and was shocked by the amount of laserpointers hitting the plane (>20). Is this a new weird trend?

      Maybe. There are a bunch of videos of people doing it to “UFO” on tiktok. And clearly some of those are just planes.
