FAA: Laser Strikes on Aircraft Increasing
The frequency of laser strikes on aircraft is a growing problem, according to the FAA.

Although shining a laser at aircraft is against federal and state laws and may result in civil penalties of up to $11,000 per violation and up to $30,800 for multiple incidents, the frequency of laser events is increasing. This is according to a newly released FAA interactive webpage detailing data from more than 57,800 reported incidents between 2010 to 2020.
