Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Federal authorities want to know who directed laser beams into the cockpits of planes landing at Daytona Beach Airport, it was reported Saturday.
One pilot said he moved his plane away from the beam as he was on final approach to the airport, WKMG-TV, Orlando, Fla. reported.
The interference was reported during two consecutive nights, said FBI and Homeland Security agents.
"These are sensitive times and pointing anything at a flying aircraft, even from a distraction standpoint is still a safety risk," said Embry Riddle Aeronautical School spokesman Frank Ayers.
It is a federal offense to interfere with an aircraft during takeoff or landing.
