We hear most terrorists ate with forks so all forks are now banned.
Also, we were shocked to discover that virtually ALL criminals rely on something called Oxygen to perform their work so this is now a controlled substance that will be heavily regulated.
We were then terrified to learn that after banning forks, terrorists were able to successfully eat with spoons or even their hands.

Seriously, you cannot ban tools. Lawmakers have to approach this with a firm grounding in statistics (how LIKELY is a risk, relative to the magnitude of the measures to prevent it?). They also have to realize that some things are just necessary for society to function. Stop being paranoid.
- brainfire 10y agoIt's perfectly legal to use a fork, if you choose to take that risk. We absolutely haven't banned forks, we just urge special precautions due to the clear and obvious terrorism risks. If you want to use a fork or fork-like object (various devices that can be used for stabbing crimes like pencils or pens), just put your name on this watchlist...
- humanrebar 10y agoMore to the point, terrorists lock their doors! We need to ban deadbolts!
- infectoid 10y agoSeriously though. Next step would be to force people to install locks that have a master key that only intelligence services have and can only use for good reasons. If you're ok with encryption back doors you should also be ok with govt master keys for all your stuff (house, car, bank account, etc)
