I would counter that your ignorance exemplifies the problem. We already have hordes of idiots who shine laser beams into the flight decks of moving airplanes, blinding the pilots and causing major issues for flight operations. Living, breathing birds, which only weigh a few pounds, can take down single-engine airplanes as well as large jets, much like the one that landed in the Hudson River just outside of NYC a few years ago. You can bet a plane such as the one you describe would have disastrous effects, too.
