The YSSY tower just advised aircraft of unauthorised laser events near the airport.

When you have this level of ignorance as noted in the Sydney Morning Herald Travel section 23 October 2010, it shows the depth of the problem....

To point at car drivers, I had someone point one at me one night last week driving home from work.

What would be classed as an authorised laser event then ?

Brad, I would assume astronomer's using the lasers would be classed as an authorized laser event as they have a legit reason them to point them into the sky to point out various stars to fellow astronomers on their meeting/stargazing nights.

If you go to the Sydney Observatory evening tours, the staff use powerful green lasers to point out the major stars and constellations.

Occasionally the Notams make mention of laser events taking place, such as when public festivals use them for displays etc.
