I don't disagree but clearly common sense is clearly not prevailing in the bureaucracies that cook up this shit.
I think this is a fundamental problem with how we've structured modern organizations in a way that removes all personal accountability and responsibility. Everyone is accountable to the organization. Nobody has "be reasonable" as part of their job duties or performance evaluation. It's not wholly their fault but I blame the MBA-ization of everything for a lot of this.
Relative to MDs and JDs, is there a credible and in-use ethical creed for MBAs? MDs and JDs have some figment of doing no harm to try to help people. MBAs do anything legal to make a buck?
Not to mention that there are lots of things we should have precisely because they are a threat to the state: encryption that the government cannot break, automatic weapons, individual autonomy, etc. These things all can be abused by "the bad guys", and will be, but we accept those risks because they are inherent to being free.
That argument could be made about damn near anything & used to justify banning near anything.
At some point common sense needs to prevail
