The issue a lot of people don't realize is that a laser isn't a cylinder, it's cone shaped.

Upside is that you can see the dot at a distance (no way you're seeing a 2mm green dot on the side of a building four blocks away)

Downside is that the dot is actually several feet across at the ranges they hit a plane, and still bright enough to temporarily blind someone, or potentially cause permanent damage
