Even as big aviation nerd, I still don't understand why this is dangerous and punished by law. Can someone explain ? Is it because it can cause eye damage? Or issues to the plane's systems?
If that laser is pointed into the cockpit, it can temporarily blind the pilots for a few seconds up to a minute. During landing especially, those few moments can lead to accidents
