Last week’s reports of lasers being pointed at 34 commercial jets as they flew over New Jersey were noteworthy for the sheer number of incidents involved, but unfortunately, are part of a trend that has become all too common. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says last year, it logged 3,894 incidents of lasers pointed at airplanes, all over the country.
