Glad they got him. Dangerous and stupid activity.
Throw him in Federal Prison for at least a year and put him on a no-fly list for many years, at least.
He, and anyone else who does such, should all be charged with attempted murder as well as using a laser on an aircraft. It most definitely good that they caught him. lets hope that more get caught in the future.
Does anyone know why people do this? What their motivation is?
If he was trying to get a plane to crash then he should be up on attempted murder charges for every person on every plane.

This a a good argument for allowing public caning.
Probably not a laser pointer though, it's likely a Class 3 (dangerous) laser commonly used for outdoor light shows.

Sorry, did not read the article which obviously answers my question!
