Hey look man, not sure if you meant it literally or figuratively, but in any case, don't get offended...
maybe if it's such an issue, the airlines could issue safety glasses to pilots covering the most common wavelengths involved in attack.
...but idea of issuing laser safety glasses to pilots is one of the top 10 most retarded ideas I've heard in my entire life.
It's directly equivalent to issuing bullet proof vests to bank counter workers instead of focusing on gun control. (Topic for another thread).
There are so many details fundamentally wrong to point out with it, that I am not even going to try it, because holy sh|t you people.
If there is a well defined job to be done by workers, and somebody elses idiocy gets in the way, you don't issue safety goggles. You restrict the idiocy. If it means banning the tools used to harm others, it's fine by me, really.
UK and Australia and number of other countries have absolute "photons big no-no" policy. So what? We have just as many members from there, as we do from countries who do not restrict the lasers that bad.
But that's beating around the bush. Truth is, there will ALWAYS be idiots pointing lasers at other people. And everything short of "The Day The Earth Stood Still [remake]" scenario will simply not change it.
And if you must rant on, rant about the idiots not using common sense, not about government and people in charge of other people's safety who are simply doing what's in their power. They can't magically make people responsible and prevent them from doing stupidities.
They can either try enforcing bans, or absolutely nothing at all. They're in a tough position.
And NO, "Here's your safety goggles, pilot, because people are sometimes pointing lasers at the plane" is NOT on the table of candidates for a solution to a problem.
