Question of the Week

The House of Representatives has passed a bill that would make it a crime to point a laser at an aircraft, punishable by up to five years in prison.

Is five years an appropriate sentence for shining lasers into the sky? Does the punishment fit the crime?

YES. This affects aviation (and airmen's safety) and requires a strict deterrent.
NO, but I would support up to a three- or four-year prison term.
NO, but I would support up to a one- or two-year prison term.
NO, first-time offenders should get only probation.
