If I Could Live Anywhere In The World.....Hmmm.

If I could live anywhere, I'd pick anywhere but places where the was even a hint of activity on this heat map. The map comes from the folks at START and highlights terrorist attacks in 2017. Yup, if you see your state, sleep tight, kiddo.

Sooo. I mapped the 2000 to 2014 Laser Strike Incidents - Sorta

UPDATE: Soooo. I kinda didn't like the map. I looked over the map and noticed I was missing some information. I'll plug it in, when I get a sec. Until then, I embedded the data itself. Oh and I included 2015 to 2018. Yeah. I'm awesome like that.

Huge nerd here. Yup. I was talking with Doug Patteson, one of the dopest people on the Interwebz, about laser strike incidents. Basically, it's when some idiot decides to take a laser and aim it at flying aircraft. It's incredibly stupid because it could potentially blind pilots and crash airplanes. Law enforcement has stepped its game up since we first heard of these things. Alas, I digress.

Check out the map. I didn't collect the data. These dudes did and they did some great analysis on it as well.
