I'm not sure the people doing that do it 'for fun' -- I think might be a bit of a reaction to what the aviation lobby does around Heathrow: the planes are being kept a low altitude for dozens of miles while making their turns. I live between Slough and Maidenhead, WAY off heathrow, and you have most planes flying at very low altitude over, especially after take off, because they (presumably) try to save fuel during the takeoff phase and turn for their primary heading. Problem is, they piss off millions of people over massively populated area by doing that, and are inherently also kept within range of these laser pointers for a lot longer, so they increase the probability of someone stupid wanting to 'do something about it'... I don't have a solution mind you, apart perhaps installing some filtering for most common laser light on cockpit windows (if it's even possible to stack filters while still seeing thru)?
