I would rather have kids get scared now versus after they are sitting
on lifer's row for playing tricks.

Well, I would prefer to have these systems secured by configuration
rather than by legislation. Proactive measures do prevent this stuff
from happening. Reactive measures (like suing someone after he caused an
incident) don't.
