I'm not so sure that "everyone who wants to bring down a plane" would have access to the kind of laser required to pull something like this off (does such a laser even exist!?), and even "organised" terrorists would have a hard time of it. Add to this the logistical nightmare of setting it up and you're left with a completely inefficient and not-a-little-weird type of terrorist attack. I mean what are they supposed to do? Sprint down the runway brandishing laser pens obtained from christmas crackers?
Besides, terrorists want their work to be noticed, so I find it unlikely that they'd favour such a subtle method of bringing down a plane over firing a simple rocket for all to see.
