Roy,
	
I seriously doubt that laser holograph ic scanners pose a hazard to anyone,
as long as the precautions for use of lasers in stated classes are observed. 
Laser radiation is coherent and confined to a very narrow beam.  Thus, unless
the beam scatters off soemthing there is little or no no danger of it going
where it was not intended.
