Laser strike incidents at Sea-Tac Airport catch attention of FAA

The Federal Aviation Administration announced they would be investigating reports from flight crews targeted by lasers going in and out of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

The FAA has confirmed that there have been at least three separate incidents of people pointing lasers in the past week.

The FAA released the following statement.

The FAA is committed to maintaining the safest air transportation system in the world. Aiming a laser at an aircraft is a serious safety hazard that puts everyone on the plane and on the ground below at risk. It is also a violation of federal law. To reduce laser attacks, the agency conducts outreach to educate the public about the hazards of lasers aimed at aircraft. The agency also works closely with other federal agencies and state and local governments to report and investigate incidents, help apprehend suspects, and advocate for the prosecution of offenders.

that he tech to locate a laser pointer is well understood, and can pinpoint it's source very accurately.

Several dumbnuts have been caught. It is not a light offense nor is it funny.

and however many 'dumbnuts' they need to 'put away' - please proceed with haste.

Can't happen soon enough. This is the same jerk off that is building pipe bombs in his basement - for amusement.
