Last year they made me take down my interlocked RGB projector which was located at well above eye level and pointed at a wall, so I definitely won't be bringing it this year.

That is no point, CERT would have been involved. Only if fire safety is directly concerned, we get in contact with you. I don't know whoever let you take it down and why.

Some angel asked for official German legal paperwork regarding the laser, which I obviously didn't have, and said I needed to take it down if I didn't have it.

That has not been a CERTling. "some angel"s behaviour I cant't explain or justify. Maybe you want to talk to PL / Orga.

Seems the person who requested the takedown was HonkHase.

If HonkHase says it's a problem, it's probably a problem. The guys it usually pretty chill and only takes out the ban-hammer if it could really create some trouble (which includes legal). But: You don't mess with HonkHase.

It wasn't a problem every year prior, then suddenly all lasers disappeared on day 1 of 33c3. Whatever the problem was, it had nothing to do with individual lasers and everything to do with some kind of general decision, legal or otherwise.

Huh, actually on the 33c3 in the upper levels of the CCH there were a few high powered lasers, with a static beam configuration, also leaving the premises, which made me kind of nervous. If you can see a red laser beam without fog it's certainly beyond class-3a

Laser classes are useless. The danger posed by a laser is way more complicated than what class it is. Any useful scanner is going to be Class 4 (mine is), but there's a huge difference between a laser pointer (static beam) and a scanner at a minimum distance.

Laser classes are to give a quick impression of how to (not) look at it (pun intended). Class-1: Could be a friggin death-star inside, but everything is safely contained within the device. Class-2: Laser leaves the device but is eye safe even on direct exposure.

Yes, Class 1 and 2 are useful for consumer devices, but the class system is basically useless for devices *intended* to emit laser beams beyond a 1mW laser pointer.
