Are we really this stupid? You'd think it's common sense to not point lasers at people, much less airplanes. It's a shame we need to make laws for things like this.
Honestly, I'm truly surprised that pointing a laser at aircraft hasn't already been made a felony-those lasers are BLINDING, and could prove FATAL!
Why is it not already? Prosecute the hell out of these people!
One word. Good.
The adage "you can't legislate common sense" doesn't work anymore.
The new one is "you can legislate common sense, but it doesn't do any good"

Wait! I thought this was a crime on a federal level??? Did I fall asleep in safety and security training? One of these we are going to witness a very spectacular crash with many lives lost because of this dangerous stunt. It isn't funny.
Unfortunately, your right, this issue won't be taken seriously on a large scale until something major happens.
