That would be because a "laser pointer type thing" looks an awful lot like a gun sight. ...until you think back to the last public assassination where a laser sight was involved. Anyone? I would think that may ruin the element of surprise as well as put the perpetrator at risk of being caught. I understand the principle of the whole thing, but i agree w/ Drood, seems like an awful lot of attention for a kid with a laser pointer. In the meantime, im sure some threats will be issued in the future for carrying one.
