Laser-Proof Sunglasses for the Cockpit?

[General Lee]

See! I thought it was always cool to wear sunglasses at night in the cockpit, but Captains always shunned it. And, I would always sing that song too---"I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can...."


Bye Bye--General Lee

Yes, for god's sake, don't post anything here that could compromise your imaginary laser sunglasses. It's a well known fact that whoever you're afraid of stalks this forum.

Maybe this question has been answered already, and I could not find anything on it.
But how does the laser beam gets into the cockpit?? A laser is a straight line, so from the ground there would be no way to direct it into the cockpit? They would have to fly in another plane next to the target airplane and shine it into the cockpit, or it comes from a point which is higher then the target plane (satellite?) or a plane flying higher. Or maybe the source sits on the end of the runway and waits for a plane too land and the shine it into the cockpit.

Anyone has any info on this?
