Peter,

My issue has to do with what actions are taken if and when there is 
an indication. In my opinion, this will never be solved since we have 
too many entities that don't want government intervention, citing 
"individual rights." I am all for rights, and all against government 
intrusion. However, unless we start to treat this problem for the 
problem it is, there will be more significant deaths. This is a no 
brainer for me. Do we want to save lives, or, do we want to play this 
game in the cemeteries, or, do we want to play this game in the media 
and the courts.
