When it does strike the aircraft, it tends to reflect all over and destroy a person's night vision temporarily. Bonus that it (justifiably) can permanently mess up vision on the reflect. I've not been lazed yet, but folks I fly with have when flying GA planes under the bravo shelf. It is a scary thing. Usually turning off the exterior lights is enough to make it stop.
The FAA does take this sort of thing very seriously and one of the guys even had the FBI swing through to interview. Pretty sure they call the local cops with the general location info too. God help the person who thinks they were having a funny with a green laser - and finds out the felony may get them 5 years....
