Wow, this is getting a rather stronger reaction than I’d anticipated. Clarification: I’m not suggesting practical measures that should be implemented. Jeez. I’m deep in an armchair, thinking about a problem that (for the moment) looks very hypothetical.
For future reference, how should I have gone about asking this question without seeming like I want to mobilize the Turing Police?
