Years ago, we had taps on the suzies. They were very useful in all sorts of situations. Sadly, the practice of judging everybody by the most stupid, has lead to a full-circle scenario, where the systems to protect the semi-morons have caused the reasonably intelligent to be lulled into a false sense of security, resulting in the numbing of their expectations, leading to their judgement of what is safe being wrong.
Hence, things like this happen.
