'saner govt official because moron firing giant lasers into the air' - lasers just go everywhere at once and hit everything in the air, into the stratosphere? it's a big sky and gets bigger the higher you go.

lol, this is a great imply-but-don't-make-a-point from an account called gunapologist99.

Is the implication here that someone firing laser weapons at things flying near the airport has no realistic danger for planes flying near the airport and therefore this was an overreaction?

Yes, because the danger didn’t merit a panicked 10 day ground stop with no info and a shoot down warning, but a NOTAM about the risk and routing.

were they really firing it randomly into empty air? they sound even less competent than I thought.
