Any advice on how I can approach this issue?

I live super close to LAX and I've heard a LOT of hoopla about this. From what i've heard there is a $10,000 reward here. Unfortunately and this really boils my blood, i have about a 50:1 ratio of people's reactions, the 50 being people who say "OH MY GOD! Im totally gonna bust some guy and get that money son!", one being "yeah, good, people shouldn't be shooting lasers at airplanes"

:wtf:

Cash rewards for this kind of thing are HORRIBLE in that they encourage fraud and greed on the part of reporters, and they result in the persecution of the innocent. Completely reprehensible, and so of course it's the typical, first-line, police-state, government response. Total

If you're ignorant enough to point a laser at an aircraft, well, you probably have no business even going to school.

How's this for agent provocateur? Near where I stay is a small scale airport. Lately over the past 4 months at about 8pm, I've seen a helicopter as well as a propeller plane making very slow rounds of up to 2 mile radius with an omni-directional bright unblinking white light. Very strange I thought. So I met some airport staff at the local pub and asked them about it. They revealed it that was a lure to locate laserists! Last night, I even saw a silent, slow flying unmanned drone (RC plane) with an omni-directional bright unblinking red light making rounds this time. "Forewarned is forearmed"!

ENCROACHING POLICE STATE. The Enemy is HERE!

--- If lasers are OK to bring to school -- that cannot be a good thing.
these are kids-- and some are bullies- its a far streach to say banning lasers in school is a POLICE STATE--

BTW anyone who neg reps over not agreeing is abusing the rep system.
Not being in agreement is not why we have the rep system nor a valid reason to neg..

In the end this is a choice of the school- the parents and the students-
NOT us. -- hk
