Sometimes you need to _force_ an issue. He's done everything
exactly right.


Here's an earlier version:

In many stores esp. in U. S. airports they have life size card board
cut outs of guys that look like federal agents. Everyone knows it's
a cardboard cutout but just reminding people that someone could be
watching reduces theft.

The bird box is at least as transparent and honest in that it's only
deceptive to those who are driving too fast. If you are a good alert
driver going the speed limit then you can read the sign.


It isn't just speed merchants. It is about all the not particularly
alert drivers going "just over" the limit that has caused all the hoo
haa about the "unfairness" of cameras.

Since the typical tolerance is 10% + 2mph and that speedometers over
read it means that when going "just over" a 30mph limit their needle
will be pointing to 40mph or more. That is an example of the level of
alertness required of drivers.
