He won't get any terror related charges but he'll probably get a jail sentence for this, a chap did a few months back when he 'only' did the police helicopter.
i know of several reasons he lucky,
1.) the plane landed safely. had it crashed in a ball of fire and carnage he would be guilty of 40+ counts of murder.
2.) the police chopper wasn't carrying any riflemen. theres not much difference between a $10 laser pointer and a laser sight for a rifle. most cops would be cleared of shooting charges considering the circumstances.
3.) he is only being charged with a local offense. federal charges would be much harder on him.

2) UK Police helicopters don't carry riflemen as UK police are not routinley armed (and don't tend to come under fire, even rarer when it's laser sighted)
3) We don't have local/federal laws.
Since 2006 there have been more than 170 reports of laser lights being directed at aircraft and the number is increasing. Forty-nine incidents were reported between April and June this year.
