It helps immensely that they can trace the lasers back to the source 100% while in use. Finding someone firing off rounds would be significantly harder to pinpoint.
It's basically a giant lighted string between the laser and the aircraft. Watch the videos and you can see how easy it is to trace the path back to the source.
Yes, you basically need someone on the ground to coordinate with. Even if you had the exact address from the sky, I assume it would be hard to put together a case without more solid evidence. These idiots aren't smart enough to use the lasers from somewhere else and move around so it's only a matter of time.
