    When shiny shirts are outlawed, only outlaws will have shiny shirts!

    (A decade or so ago I saw a bumper sticker on a car at SAIC in San Diego: “When orbital particle beam weapons are outlawed, only outlaws will have orbital particle beam weapons!” I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the car belonged to one of your readers.)
