Intricate Red Lasers

Why not just make a barrier of tightly-knit lasers to protect your Bird's Egg instead of having them all spaced out and avoidable?

The dozens of lasers that protect some valuable item from thieves who want it. If anyone wants to get past them (and they always potentially can), they have to stealthily dodge the lasers. Realistic Reality asks a question similar to the slidetext: if you really want to protect something, why not go for something more secure like a steel wall or a series of locked, high-security doors?
