It's a rarefied news story that marries teens, lasers, and helicopters (was there no shark angle?), but the LA Times sniffs it out this morning.

'They said they had headaches and blurry vision for a couple of hours,' said sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino. 'People need to be educated about the dangers of these lasers. They could cause a helicopter to crash. They could even take down a commercial airliner.'"
