Title text:

To combat the threat, many airlines are installing wing-mounted spray bottles.

Transcript:

Megan: Shining laser pointers at planes is a federal crime. It's incredibly dangerous.
Cueball: Oh, because it can blind the pilot?
Megan: That's one reason...

[A plane is shown, with a green laser pointer aimed at it.]

[The laser disappears. A cat, approximately the same size as the plane, pounces on the plane and sends it tumbling.]
