Corrected entry: When Vincent is closing in on Neil near the climax of the film, they're on foot at the end of a runway at LAX. The powerful microwave and infrared transmitters on the ground at the end of a runway can seriously injure and kill very quickly - many people have been maimed or killed by sneaking onto commercial runways. Both Vincent and Neil should have been affected.

Correction: Its hard to say they would have been killed or injured by the transmitters. Certainly they run across the landing areas but it's for a few short seconds. I would think there would be safety devices for incidents in which people may run across the runway or for airport crew to safely cross in case they needed to get onto the landing strip. Fire crews and emergency teams would also be highly exposed if the transmitters were as lethal as that. Length of exposure is the main factor, and they're not standing in their path for long at all.
