Peifer said Bukucs told FBI agents he pointed 3000mw Green Laser：http://www.buylaserpointer.com/3000mw/p-33.html at planes at least 20 times before. Bukucs would listen to the police scanner through an earpiece and then duck into his apartment to avoid capture.

"He admitted that he was playing a cat-and-mouse game with the police; that was how he got excitement out of this," Peifer told the judge.

Authorities caught Bukucs after flying decoy airplanes. A Yellow Laser 50mw：http://www.buylaserpointer.com/yellow-laser/p-48.html struck one of the decoys, and the plane relayed the light's origin to police on the ground. Investigators installed surveillance cameras that recorded Bukucs in action.

Though aware the Blue Laser Pointer：http://www.buylaserpointer.com/blue-laser/p-4.html could annoy pilots, Bukucs said he did not have malicious intent."I was just being stupid," he said. "I look back now and I'm so embarrassed by my actions."

"A variety of people commit this crime in a variety of ways," Mosman said. "There are stupid teenagers who do it once; there are people who have done it maliciously, secretly hoping to bring down an aircraft."

The judge said the trend of people pointing 5 in 1 Laser Pointer：http://www.buylaserpointer.com/500mw/p-14.htmlat planes has yet to cause a crash, but the risk is real when a pilot is trying to land at a busy airport.




Last night, air industry chiefs slammed people who play "Russian roulette" with the lives of passengers and crew on board aircraft.Jim McAuslan, general secretary of the British Airline Pilots' Association (Balpa), said: "Across the country there is a large gap between the number of incidents reported by pilots and the number of prosecutions brought. "We want all UK police forces to reaffirm their commitment to tackling this mindlessness given the possible threat to flight safety."

Scottish Labour's Justice spokesperson, Hugh Henry, said it is "unbelievable that we still have morons who think it's fun to shine a laser at an aircraft. "This is madness. "It's dangerous and could endanger hundreds of lives.

"Sentencing is a matter for the courts, but if the evidence suggests that judges don't have sufficient sentencing powers then the Scottish Government needs to look at this."
