ok ill bite; why are you 'not sure you would have' marked the spot
with your GPS? Do I need to make a tinfoil hat before hearing your
answer?

No conspiracy theories or anything. Just cynicism and/or pragmatism.

I just don't think I would spend the time and money to go around and
hunt down this guy after a one-time incident. If it happened a second
time I would probably do it.

Well the second time might get another pilot or you in both eyes and you
will be wishing you'd taken the time.

Bradley Approach did inform me that there have been numerous laser incidents
in that area. The problem with commuters ans biz jets is that although they
pose the potential for the most damage from a severe incident, they are the
least likely to circle around and get a GPS coordinate. Had I not been on a
climb-out after a missed practoce approach, I probably would not have
circled either.
