Airbus developing laser-proof airplane cockpits
Airbus is developing technology to protect pilots against high-powered handheld lasers aimed at the cockpit during the critical takeoff and landing stages. The company hopes to have a special laser-proof film available to be fitted onto the cockpit windows by the end of next year. Lasers deliberately pointed into the cockpit of a plane can temporarily blind a pilot or permanently damage their eyes, and are an increasing problem in many countries.

Do hope that they allow others to buy it from them an item like this should be shared by all AC manufactures not only to have but so it can be improved if needed.
How about a laser automatically activated to return to the shooter like a reflection, might put an end to this nonsense.
A good idea! I think a simpler idea would be to set an angle limiting switch to all lasers. Another idea would be to limit the use of lasers with that kind of power to legitimate uses such as public safety officials and professional institutions, similar to Firearm Aquisition Certification.
