I should have posted this link first.

Laser optical mice do not, at least as far as most models I can see on the market, use lasers. Thus the response isn't really a response- it says that a laser is permitted so long as it's not exposed- but by definition no laser's are permitted.

There is additional ambiguity around a laser mouse- most people mean 'optical' when they say 'laser'.

I guess I'll be writing a followup.
