When laser light leaves the laser it is all going in the exact same direction. So it can only be seen by anyone not on that path after it starts bouncing off stuff so that photons can reach their eyes or sensors.
to a sensor that only sees laser light, it’s only the thing being hit by the laser that is visible.
