It all sounds like bs to me.
Consider this:
- What is the angular size of an aircraft that's taking off or landing
- What's the angular size of a laser beam
- How likely is it that someone can point a laser at an aircraft under these conditions and actually blind a pilot. Do understand that the laser beam if it actually hits an aircraft it will be on its underside, and that the windows are generally on the top side of the aircraft.
- There is something called the inverse square law. Please Google this.
