Has anyone been following the disturbing (to me anyway) news stories
about airliners approaching to land being hit with laser beams aimed

No I hadn't, but there do seem to be several incidents:

Two incidents in Colorado Springs, Colo., and one each in Cleveland,
Washington, Houston, Teterboro, N.J., and Medford, Ore.:
