TUCSON - Hundreds of pilots from law enforcement agencies around the state gathered for the largest safety seminar in Arizona focusing on laser beam incidents.
FBI Special Agent Brian Nowak said that there were an estimated 4,000 incidents of lasers beamed into the cockpits of aircraft have occurred nationwide this year.
In Tucson, a laser is pointed at an aircraft between one and four times a week.
