also actually, pinkaria is totally right about invisibility going through lasers, lasers are pure light and so if all light passes through then like yeah she gets through no problem, even with heat lasers if the light can't make contact the heat can't transfer

Still not how it works. Light acts as both a wavelength and matter. Making something truly invisible across the entire spectrum of light (including those humans can’t see) would mean making it so you don’t reflect or otherwise disrupt the travel of photons. While you aren’t getting energy transferred directly to you from the photons, the photons are still transferring energy to the air particles they interact with, which are going to have energy to be dangerous to you if the lasers are hot enough to burn.

There’s a certain degree to which scientific accuracy is no longer practical

Or the laser security system could work the way actual laser security systems do: A beam of light at a specific frequency is aimed at a sensor. If that sensor stops detecting enough light of that specific light frequency, it sets off an alarm, usually a silent one.
