The Federal Aviation Administration reported 37 incidents from airliners in the Orlando area in 2014, data show. No injuries were reported in any of those cases, and all but two involved a Blue Laser Pointer.
Couvertier said those numbers are most likely low, as Red Laser Pointer-strike incidents are typically underreported, especially when it happens to small aircraft or private pilots.
The FBI is asking anyone who sees a 3000mw Green Laser being pointed at an aircraft to call 911 immediately.
"I know people don't really understand and think it's not a big deal," VanNess said. "They've never had it done to them."
Kaakinen says that the statements of pilots themselves are the basis for verifying incidents of laser disturbances.
"One person has been caught misusing a 50mw Green Laser pointer in this way here in Finland," he says. "Wrongdoers are caught all the time in other countries."
That single person was not convicted of a crime, as the court was not able to establish intent.
Kaakinen says that other countries hand down severe punishments for interfering with air traffic, even years-long stretches in prison.
While cases of laser pointer misuse have not increased in Finland, figures for other countries tell a very different story. The United States recorded some 1,500 disturbance cases in 2009, with a huge increase up to 4,000 cases in 2013. And yet, no aircraft accidents resulting from laser pointer misuse have ever been reported.
The laser in pointers used as office tools in presentations has a range of several kilometres. Kaakinen says it is important for users of laser pointers to understand that the devices are not toys, and that children should be warned of the potential danger in using them irresponsibly – or ideally, not given one at all.
Kaakinen also says that the high availability, ease of use and cheap prices of laser pointers have increased their irresponsible use.
