Laser detectors: do they really work?

Got a ticket on the NY Thruway last month in which the cop got me by laser. Just got the fine today. Not too bad, and it's my first ticket in about 12 years, so no biggie. Don't do the crime if you can't pay the fine, or something like that. Plus, it's 5 hours each way, so I wasn't about to go fight it.
I sorta question the reliability of laser readings, so my question is, would I still have gotten nailed if I had a laser detector? I know YMMV and conditions are involved, but I'm very skeptical about those laser detectors. As I understand it, laser beams target a specific car and with a detector, you don't have the same benefit of picking up scatter from the cop hitting someone ahead of you like you do with a radar signal. But maybe I'm wrong.
What's the experience here?
