Agree it should be your choice. How about kids wearing helmets while sledding. Where does it end.
Good question. A few years ago there was debate about whether OSHA should have the right to make unannounced inspections of homes to determine if 'work at home' offices, which were springing up as a result of the phenomenal growth of telecommuting, were safe. The rational was that the employer was liable for the working conditions of the employee and if the employer was large enough to fall under OSHA requirements OSHA had the obligation to inspect the 'work at home' arrangements. I think it was the eventual recognition that the threat of deadly force by those that still felt we are a free people killed that idea.
