Silicon Valley, Lasers, and Airplanes
The San Francisco Bay Area, has two airports in the top five for laser-aircraft incidents according to the FAA. While the FAA didn’t release the total number of incidents, the relative ranking of the airports are are:
- Chicago’s O’Hare Airport
- Los Angeles
- Phoenix Sky Harbor
- Mineta San Jose
- Oakland
Money quote from the article:

While some portion of the laser shooters are thought to be middle-aged methamphetamine users looking for thrills, other shooters are young, well-educated and interested in science, science fiction and are tech-savvy, officials believe.
