Both the green laser pointers I have came in cardboard boxes with padding and spaces for the batteries. I'm going to move the lasers back into their boxes.
This is so they cannot be accidentally triggered. The momentary-on buttons could be squeezed and held on for a period of time if the laser was in, say, tight quarters. In my laptop bag, for example, it could get turned on. If the 200 mW (purported rating) was run continuously, aimed at a black plastic surface, perhaps it could cause a fire.
Back in their boxes, I can remove and easily store the batteries. Eliminating any chance of turning on the laser. And while it doesn't prevent tampering by another human, it slows the process...
