  Summary: Airports set off laser detection at full volume and from a long distance away. You can not adjust this feature or control with volume (Sets off full blast). You literally have to shut the unit off.

  Great Detector For Price

  Pros: Long Range Detection Very Few False Alarms Dim Feature Easy to Use Under $200
