I would be really surprised if this turns into a situation where we monitor the sales of pressure cookers the way I monitor the sales of things I sell in my store. If you order (online) enough items from a list the FBI gave us, I am required to contact you.
Gratned, I deal in military surplus.
But I don't think we are going to get to the point where we start monitoring pressure cooker sales this way. I mean, we don't monitor the sale of fuels not dispensed into a vehicle.
Sure, you will have to deal with the john q public and their ridiculously small minded ways, but well.... that's the public. People (as plural) are idiots. A Person is smart. People can end up a frothing mob of group thinkers with the right person pushing the buttons.
