For starters the Physics is being ignored totally. At a distance, hand held lasers are simply not a hazard. Been there, done that, got "I 'bin (laden) zapped" T-Shirt.
Secondly, why should I or any other law abiding legitimate users, have to now pay a license fee for a device that dim witted politicians think is some sort of death ray, while those that don't give hoot will happily continue to annoy low flying aircraft......
Lastly, and let me be very clear on this, while the rising/setting sun is at altitude is decidedly brighter than any laser I have yet to tinker with, it's "thermo-nuclear attacks" have yet to be spun into a hazard to aviation, despite it's getting into aviators eyes, well since Pontius was a Pilot.
Yet, day in and day out, thousands a aviators around the globe grumble about old sol, (usually because you've been up all night) re-position their sun visor and get on with the business of flying the aircraft. Safety issue?
That would be a long bow indeed...
