How much does a laser pointer bother a pilot?
(from article)
"We suffered flash blindness, after-imaging and then retinal burning that continued on for a while," pilot Robert Hamilton told CBS News, describing five laser strikes he's experienced as his crews were either taking off or landing. "We have to complete checklists, configure the aircraft, change our speed, change our pitch attitude, prepare the aircraft for landing or taking off, and at that moment to have our vision taken away from us, which is the most critical phase of flight is a very serious safety risk."

A laser pointer can blind a pilot during takeoff or landing, potentially resulting in a plane crash. It's actually a pretty serious issue.
