FBI Expands Awareness Campaign about Laser Attacks on Aircraft
AS

The FBI is expanding its campaign to raise public awareness about the consequences of laser attacks on aircraft to include all 50 states. The effort builds on a test program started earlier this year at 12 FBI offices that raised public awareness about the dangers of shining lasers at aircraft through a series of public service announcements, billboards and media outreach. As a result of this campaign, the number of reported incidents has fallen 19 percent in the major metropolitan areas of the 12 field offices.
