[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] I think perhaps you are assuming perfect collimation. Which most lasers (and certainly laser pointers) lack. So there would be some spread giving a coherent hooligan, say, a 1 meter diameter beam at, say, 4 km. Since the windows of most jetliners are around a meter or so tall, with reasonable aim, one ought to be able to maintain at least jerky contact with the target region. This is all neglecting reflection, of course. But if one was lined up, say, along the landing way, esp. in an elevated position, I think it could be done. But I doubt it would cause serious eye damage. It would likely just be really irritating and distracting. [/QB][/QUOTE]
