What kind of a society do we live in where politicians go out of their way to pass laws telling an entire class of manufactures that they are exempt from a business practice that any manufacturing company would need to adhere to in order to satisfy their investors and owners?
Can you imagine what it would be like if GE or Pratt & Whitney didn't have to track the spare parts that they sold to the airlines to maintain their engines? Or if prosthetic implant manufactures didn't have to keep track of which hip replacement went into which patient?
And if that isn't outrageous enough, from the same government which has ruled that tracking the sale of firearms is not important we may soon have a law which requires the tracking of all breast implants since there's a chance that improperly manufactured ones could harm a patient, even to the point where their life was at risk. But then I've never seen a bumper sticker claiming that 'Breast Implants don't kill people; People kill people'.
