Me ka wā hoʻomaha ma luna o mākou, makemake ka Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) e hōʻoia i kāu mau hōʻike kukui laser e kuhikuhi ana i kou hale a ʻaʻole i ka lewa.

I kēlā me kēia makahiki, loaʻa iā mākou nā hōʻike mai nā pailaka i hoʻopilikia ʻia a i ʻole makapō ʻia e nā hōʻike kukui laser noho. ʻAʻole paha ʻoe i ʻike i kēia, akā ʻo ka hoʻāʻo maikaʻi e hoʻolaha i ka hauʻoli hoʻomaha hiki ke hana i kahi pilikia palekana koʻikoʻi i nā pailaka a me kā lākou poʻe kaʻa e lele ana i luna.

No laila e ʻoluʻolu e hōʻoia i ke kuhikuhi ʻana o nā kukui laser a pau i kou hale a ʻaʻole i ka lewa. ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o nā kukuna kukui laser ma mua o kou ʻike.

Inā ʻike mākou e pili ana kāu hōʻike kukui laser i nā pailaka, e noi mākou iā ʻoe e hoʻoponopono iā lākou a hoʻopau paha. Inā hoʻomau ka hopena o kāu hōʻike kukui laser i nā pailaka, ʻoiai kā mākou mau ʻōlelo aʻo, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa ka hoʻopaʻi kīwila.

Ke hoʻomau nei ka hoʻonui ʻana o ka hahau ʻana i nā mokulele i kēlā me kēia makahiki. I ka makahiki i hala, ua loaʻa iā mākou he 6,754 mau hōʻike no ka hahau ʻana i ka laser i ka mokulele, he 250 pakeneka ka piʻi ʻana mai ka wā i hoʻomaka ai mākou e ʻimi i nā hahau laser ma 2010.

ʻO ka manaʻo ʻana i ka laser ma ka mokulele he pilikia palekana koʻikoʻi a kūʻē i ke kānāwai federal. Hiki i ka nui o nā laser mana kiʻekiʻe ke hoʻopau loa i nā pailaka e hoʻāʻo nei e lele maluhia i ko lākou wahi e hele ai a lawe paha i nā haneli he nui.

Hana pū mākou me nā keʻena hoʻokō kānāwai federal, mokuʻāina, a me ka ʻāina e hoʻopaʻi i ka hoʻopaʻi kīwila a me ka hewa i ka poʻe i manaʻo i ka laser ma kahi mokulele. Hiki iā mākou ke kau i nā hoʻopaʻi kīwila a hiki i $11,000 no ka hewa. ʻO nā hoʻopaʻi kīwila a hiki i $ 30,800 ua kau ʻia e ka FAA i nā poʻe no nā hanana laser he nui.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

You might not realize this, but a well-meaning attempt to spread holiday cheer has the potential to create a serious safety risk to pilots and their passengers flying overhead.
We work with federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to pursue civil and criminal penalties against individuals who purposely aim a laser at an aircraft.
Last year we received 6,754 reports of laser strikes against aircraft, a 250 percent increase since we started tracking laser strikes in 2010.
