Apparently a man appeared in court on Tuesday after being accused of trying to dazzle pilots with a laser beam as they were trying to land at France’s second busiest airport, Paris Orly. A spokesman for the civil aviation authority said that several pilots complained, and the man was finally arrested near the runway.

The airport security officials said that three different pilots, including crew from both EasyJet and Air France, warned the control tower on Sunday about the man. This, in turn, alerted the police, and the man was finally caught in the act of using the little laser pointer.

A spokesman for Air France said that the pilot was never in any trouble due to the laser pointer. However, there had been a growing number of such incidents, and the airlines do not want to take any chances.

Right now it comes at no shock to most industry experts that this man was arrested. It is more than likely that authorities are going to make an example out of this guy. Authorities are trying their best to discourage people from acting out on planes in order to increase security.

In this day and age, airline security is a big thing. Airlines want to keep their passengers safe, and they want to make sure that cabin crew is safe. Although the pilot was never in any harm due to the laser pointer, it is these kinds of things that airlines and authorities are trying to discourage. Authorities are more than likely hoping that arresting this guy will show others, who may want to do the same thing, that they mean business.
