How Many People Shined Lasers At Planes In Texas This Year?

All of us have seen a plane in the Texas skies.

Some may wonder where said plane is going, or perhaps what company's plane just flew over us. It could be carrying cargo or people for all we know if we can't see it well. Many in the state may even want to fly planes for a living at some point in their life.

As with all transportation, there are rules for pilots before they take off into the air. Following those regulations is very important too. But for those on the ground watching the planes, there's a lot you shouldn't do.

One of those things you ask? Shining a laser at the plane. Yet...some Texans decide to make this silly decision.
