Yup... heard about that this morning... A: I hope it doesn't pass so that B: It doesn't catch on... I mean, really... Do we need any more safety equipment in our cars?
I think there is an effective solution for this, though... Each morning, exterior doors to your house are locked electronically. You must pass an IQ test before the doors will open.
Similarly, members of governing bodies will be required to pass an IQ test before submitting legislation or voting. However, to expedite the process, they will not be able to determine whether they have passed the test until taking hold of a (potentially) lethally charged electrode. Pass: live. Fail: die.
