What exactly is an LED Laser pointer? It is an LED or a laser; it can't be
both.

Not all lasers are polarized. You can also get unpolarized laser emission.

Using an LED laser pointer and a pair of polarized glasses I tested
your idea. There is attenuation of the beam that is dependent on the
orientation of the pointer. So, the attenuation depends on how the
person on the other end is holding the pointer.
