I assume we can still buy dangerously-strong magnets that are for non-"consumer" purposes?

    We cannot even have fully automatic rifles in the US, so the assault magnets would have to be either semi-auto or bolt action, sorry to disappoint.

      Bolt action magnets actually exist https://www.grainger.com/category/material-handling/lifting-pulling-positioning/lifting-magnets-and-suction-cup-lifters/manual-lifting-magnets https://www.grainger.com/category/material-handling/lifting-... And semi auto magnets would be electromagnets I assume.

    "solely" implies some kind of authentication of the recipient by the sender, which sounds sufficient yet not too onerous.
