    Let's alter the debate slighty. how would you feel is this "safety" device becomes mandatory ?

    Think this is far-fetched ? Let me tell you about the "saw-stop". So every year, scores of idjit Americans manage to slice off their fingers on that killer tool known as the cannibal table saw ! So a couple of years ago, this guy invented a gizmo that senses flesh, and retracts the blade with explosive force. Completely fucks up the blade and the safety device needs to be replaced, but hey, all you have is a nick on your finger. Sounds like a win right ? Wifey likes hubby with 10 fingers, add campaign targeted at hobby woodworkers and their spouses etc. Fast forward a couple of years, and the inventor has now lobbied the do-goodie politicians for a law that says every single saw sold has to have one of his devices...

    So thanks, but no thanks.
