pointers were pointed at pilots, attempting to distract them in take-off and
landing from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. In addition, the laser pointers
can also measure distances to the planes for, say, SAMs (Surface to Air
Missiles). More about the

involving pilots and planes in various locations from Hawaii and the Atlanta
area--in that case, a police helicopter was targeted.
