...more control. I just can't get behind the idea of full confiscation as being a good thing, but I don't think anyone will state that the current state of affairs is a good idea.

What about an interesting solution, something new (or...new...I think?): We do it for energy, why not subsidize a third party to DEVELOP a solution? Like...fingerprint locks, perhaps (or even firing mechanisms). Attach a monetary value to it and companies will trip over themselves to get a piece of the pie.

Stop arguing silliness and find workable solutions, that's my approach. Oh. I voted uhh...the one about more regulations. I think it's closest to what I'm saying.
