Wouldn't wearing polarized sunglasses just about completely eliminate

completely stop the laser light from coming through the glasses.

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.

How precisely does the pointer have to be aligned? If it is off by 5
degrees does the laser get through?
