its a great idea and all, but how on earth would it work??

Surely a ground based laser would hit the underside of the cockpit and not be seen? How on earth would it be targeted so accurately to go through the cockpit window? And don't you usually have to have a laser shone directly into your eye to observe it, unless you can see where the beam contacts. So what if the laser puts a dot on the back of the cockpit wall where the pilot can't see it?

Does anyone have a diagram of this?
