This was fun to read but a little silly. Policing costs can be as much as you like but the
government wouldn't have to go to that sort of extreme. I imagine they figure a lot can be done
acting on complaints and "Random URL Testing".
Maybe it would be worth asking how much the government intends to spend and how it intends to police
this. Anyone have any information from the government?
