FAA says laser strikes on aircraft fell for the third consecutive year

"Shining a laser at an aircraft poses a serious safety threat and is a federal crime," the FAA bulletin states. "Pilots have reported 322 injuries since the FAA began tracking laser strike reports in 2010. People who shine lasers at aircraft face FAA fines of up to $11,000 per violation. They also can face federal criminal penalties of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, as well as state and local penalties."

So yeah, maybe keep a lid on any overly-bonkers laser light shows you had planned for the fall and winter holidays.
