Security through obscurity.
If this ever becomes a common use security measure, thieves will not think twice.
Good gimmick though. Very novel.

Presumably most home break-is are not performed by career criminals who do research and use the latest technology to break into homes, but rather by opportunists and desperates looking for a quick grab.
Or at least, that is the premise behind the sale of "fake" security systems like this, or those generic "security system on premises" stickers. I'm sure they reduce the risk of casual crimes by some percent, but I'm not sure if that's worth $200 for most people.
The ironic part is the businesses already have real security systems which do everything the laser system could do. The real security system will already phone the police and ring an alarm.
