The FAA has announced
that U.S. regulators will begin imposing maximum fines on people caught shining
laser pointers at aircraft after incidents rose from 2,836 in 2010 to 3,592 in
2011. According to FAA research, lasers are not only a distraction to pilots in
the cockpit during takeoff and landing, but they can temporarily diminish
eyesight or blind pilots, sometimes damaging the eye. Under a U.S. law enacted
this past February, individuals found guilty of shining lasers at aircraft can
serve up to five years in jail and face $250,000 in fines.
