Yeah I know about green laser pointers, i.e. frequency doubled YAG lasers.  Do you think that green is more powerful than red?  Sorry dude, green or red it is absolute power that is important.  All laser pointers are in the milliwatt range whereas the sun produces about 100 milliwatts/sq cm.  If you do the math or pay attention to the physics, laser pointers can not do any damage to pilots.  By the time a laser pointer has traveled 100 meters (a football field), it has a power density of about 10 microwatts/cm sq.  or about 10,000 times weaker than the sun.  By the time it has traveled 1 km (or about the distance to a typical plane), it has a power density of about 100 nanowatts/cm sq. or a million times weaker than the sun.  Dummies equate laser with bad things.  Physicists know that the laser pointer fears are groundless.
