Isn't there a 180 mph speed limit within controlled airspace around a major airport?

At 1 millirad beam divergence the beam would be about 18 yards wide at 10 miles. If one couples the laser with a serious aiming rifle scope (say, 36-50x) and mounts the contraption onto a heavy tripod, then aiming at a moving target and "leading" it should not be too much of a problem. One could perform a similar exercise on a paper target with a scoped rifle and regular laser diode bore-sighter.

Investigate ?
How are they going to investigate when liberal judges and the liberal media obstruct investigations of Muslims ?
They could investigate the Catholic Church though ...
some old conservative right to life priests and nuns ...
