    I bought a scarifying rake on Amazon and had to show photo id when it arrived. I rather like the idea of raking someone to death.

    It's the old, old story.  The vast majority of sensible people suffer because of the actions of a few morons.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Ah @KT53 that's such a reductive and simplistic notion. Laws exist whether we like them or not. My only question about this whole thing is how capable is Royal Mail to screen post in order to stop offensive weapons still circulating in their network.

    It's the reality of life today.  The requirement for the lids of takeaway hot drinks to be stamped with 'Contents may be hot' is a great example.  Some moron didn't realise it, sued the supplier, and the rest is history.  The judge should have said that anybody not realising a hot drink might be hot deserves to be burnt.

    As usual the case concerned was somewhat different in reality, the coffee was much hotter than it should have been, and that was why the person sued and won.
    It's like the straight Bananas issue, a Daily Mail story.

    I'm curious to know, how can a hot drink be much hotter than it should have been? Are they supposed to wait for it to cool off before handing it over? Maybe they made it in a pressure cooker so it was hotter than normal boiling point?
    I don't drink coffee, but if I buy tea and it's less than scalding hot that's just wrong - it means it's either been sitting around for a while getting stewed or they've made it with less-than-boiling water, either of which is a recipe for a bad brew. If I'm careless with my nice hot tea (it happens occasionally) that's my fault whether I bought it or made it myself.
