Said physicists would be wrong...
Going up NYS Thruway, I got a laser warning as I was tailing a car
by about 3 lengths.  I figured it was a false due to the sun being
directly ahead.  A few seconds later, it did it again, right after
I spotted the trooper in the woods.  I was not speeding at the
time though.

Rear laser is a gimmick, and just like radar, if you are the only 
car on the road, there is no miracle that will save you against
instant-on.  BUT - it does pick up scatter from shots at other
cars, no doubt about it.
