It seems the first arrest of a person using a laser to attempt to disable an airliner is an amateur astronomer who "used it to point out stars to my daughter". I wonder how long it will be before someone we know is put through this ordeal i.e. trying to prove their innocence to the federal government. I hope they give us a special section at Guantanamo Bay. But with our green laser pointers about to go the way of the dinosaur, their value will immediately increase. But I guess putting them up on eBay will be a crime in itself wouldn't it?
