Well Jeff, there is another part of the runway system that DOES use lasers. SOME runways use a visibility monitoring system, sometimes in as many as 3 zones (Touchdown, Center, and Rollout), providing instantaneous feedback. They use a laser and a reader to see the reflected and refracted energy based on the scatter that visibility-limiting particulates cause.
Perhaps this could trigger a laser detector after all.
