The idea that the TeV air showers, thought to be produced by >10 TeV gamma rays from Mrk 501, can be mimicked by coherent bunches of sub-TeV photons is reexamined, focusing on fundamental considerations. In particular, it is shown that the minimum spot size of the beam of pulsed TeV photons arriving at Earth is on the order of a few kilometers, unless a lens with certain characteristics is placed between the TeV laser and Earth. The viability of the laser production mechanism proposed by Harwit et al. (2000) is also reassessed.
