NEWS ALERT from FBI Honolulu: United States Attorney’s Office and FBI Crack Down on Aircraft Lasing as Maui Man Awaits Sentencing The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Hawaii, in partnership with the FBI and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), is working to identify and prosecute those endangering aircraft with laser pointers. As the video shows, shining a laser at an aircraft can impair a pilot’s vision—sometimes permanently—during critical moments of flight. These incidents present a serious safety risk to everyone on board the aircraft and to the communities below. Federal law treats aircraft lasing as a serious criminal offense. Knowingly aiming a laser pointer beam at an aircraft or its flight path is a federal felony punishable by a term of imprisonment of up to five years. Where the aircraft is federally operated, lasing the aircraft can also constitute assault on a federal officer. Individuals who aid and abet such conduct, or even those who act as accessories after the fact, may also face federal prosecution. Jesse Kong, 30, of Maui, Hawaii, pled guilty to being an accessory after the fact to a laser-pointer assault on a federal pilot, and faces up to 6 months of imprisonment. Kong admitted to purchasing a laser pointer online and loaning it to an associate who, in Kong’s presence, aimed the laser at a federal aircraft and into its cockpit, disorienting the pilot and interfering with the aircraft’s operations. Shortly after the incident, FBI agents intercepted Kong and his associate, questioning both, and Kong falsely represented that the individuals responsible had already left the scene, thereby assisting his associate in eluding apprehension. As Kong’s prosecution shows, the FBI can swiftly track down those responsible for laser strikes on aircraft. 🔗
