“I’m the laser expert, you guys are not... Obviously”

Obviously not an expert laser guy, much less an expert on the affects of lasers on night vision, piloting airplanes, human factors engineering, or much else. Green lasers availble retail have been known to temporarily blind and confuse a pilot, and an airplane on approach doesn’t all day to recover from vision failures.

Sorry, but for such a self-professed expert, you’re an ignorant idiot.

How about one link to a credible article showing this to have ever happened Toad. You can’t because it hasn’t...

There’s no question that you can be blinded, even permanently by available repetitively low cost lasers. But the exposure time needs to be much greater than you can get through the windscreen of a moving plane from a mile away.
