N.J. Resident Questioned After 2nd Beam Aimed At Aircraft
UPDATED: 1:47 pm EST January 3, 2005
TRENTON, N.J. -- State and federal authorities continued to investigate two incidents in which laser beams were aimed at separate aircraft flying over Morris County in the last several days.
Several people have been questioned in connection with the incidents, which involved a corporate jet and a Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police helicopter. No arrests had been made Saturday, according to an FBI spokesman.
"It is an ongoing investigation," FBI Special Agent Steve Kodak said. "Nobody is in custody and there have been no arrests."
Both aircraft were targeted by the lasers in the vicinity of Teterboro Airport. On Wednesday night, a pilot preparing to land the jet at Teterboro reported seeing three green laser beams about 11 miles from the airport.
The plane, a Cessna Citation with 13 people aboard, landed safely with no injuries reported.
On Friday, the helicopter carrying Port Authority superintendent Samuel J. Plumeri Jr. and some detectives was hit by a beam as they surveyed the area in an attempt to pinpoint the origin of the original beams.
Among the people questioned was a Parsippany resident whose home was visited Friday by Port Authority and federal officials, an authority spokesman said. The resident's lawyer, Gina Mendola Longarzo, told the Daily Record of Parsippany that her client had not done anything wrong, saying he was only showing his daughter a common laser pointer that he had purchased on the Internet.
In addition to the Teterboro incidents, federal agents are looking into recent reports of lasers being shone at aircraft in Colorado Springs, Colo., Cleveland, Washington, Houston and Medford, Ore., according to law enforcement and transportation officials, some of whom spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Federal law enforcement officials have said there is no evidence of a terrorist plot involving laser beams, though last month the FBI and the Homeland Security Department sent a memo to law enforcement agencies saying there is evidence that terrorists have explored using lasers as weapons.

Last I heard, after the robot cleared it, the police opened the doors and found nothing. Weird. Just raises more questons for me.
