I find it interesting how many people here discount the risks of laser pointers, and trivialize the stories of pilots. The very same people probably encounter the same attitude from customers and others in their work in the IT industry, for instance with regards to security measures ("why can't we just run our customer database on a publically reachable IP, it saves so much trouble, and I know a guy that has done it for years and never had a problem!").
