I suspect a fair bit of pragmatism may go into the enforcement of this law. Alternatively, it may get rigidly enforced until it eventually gets tested in court and a pragmatic judge declares the law unenforceable.

That’s what would happen here in New Zealand, I hope that’s what would happen in the US...?

We no longer have pragmatic judges here. With our luck, the first judge who gets his hands on such a case will probably expand this silly law even further.
