Not sure whether that includes laser pointer or not, but I'm an Altronics 
wholesaler so that will help the price a bit.

This (http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/7156/laser.htm) appears to 
be the original author, who claims 200m range, which is more than I need. But 
I bet getting that kind of range is fiddly. Tubes and receiver lenses might 
improve things.

Probably entirely legal until someone compolains. (-:
