“Is there anything gubmint doesn’t know?!!!”
I think it was in 1988 when Congress passed a law that school buses had to have seats belts for the riders with an ignition interlock. So, if any student unlocked his belt the buss would stop...(Long pause.) They installed them in some unknown number of busses which sat...and sat...because every time they started moving, a student would open belt and shut them off. Stupidest thing I ever heard.
Then there was Miami that put a device on every light so that busses, fire trucks and emergency vehicles could press a button and turn the light green so they’d have priority passage. It worked for two weeks, but the devises weren’t encrypted and somebody was selling a knockoff box on the internet. There were dozens of crashes in intersections as many people decided they should have priority passage. (Too stupid for words.)
This was predicted based on other similar programs in other schools.
But they went ahead anyway.
