Crack Down On Plane-Seeking Lasers

An AP newswire article, via CBS News, reports that:

Authorities are cracking down on anyone caught shining lasers at airplanes after 16 pilots reported seeing the potentially blinding lights while landing at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in one night.

The 16 incidents were all reported Monday evening, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said. It was the second rash of incidents at the airport in the past six months.

The FAA has said that were 305 laser incidents between late 2004 and the beginning of this year.
