This has been a problem at airports ever since these laser pens became widely available. There no way to catch whoever did it unless someone witnesses them doing it and goes to the police - the beam could be coming from absolutely anywhere in a fairly wide radius. There's no way to trace exactly where it came from.
Needle in a haystack I would say. People would need to be caught in the act. Personally, i think laser device usage should be regulated and controlled, but there is already a vast number imported from other countries, so the horse has already bolted.
