Pilots - Laser blinding serious or BS?

First, I will state that I have never tried to point a laser pointer at a plane, but it would seem virtually impossible for a human to point and keep a laser pointer pointed at the cockpit of an aircraft inflight.

Geez, I can hardly keep my sights on a target at 25 yards with a pistol and I know what I can do at 100 with a rifle and scope.

But an Aircraft cockpit, miles away, moving at hundreds of miles an hour? I smell BS.

I'm calling Shananigans!
