This is something Home Depot added to the saw. It is even Home Depot
orange in color. I don't see how any employee could remove this without a
bunch of tools and a lot of time. It is not a simple safety guard like a
normal RAS.

It still seems like safety taken to the extreme. Somebody would have to
stick a hand in a foot or more to get to the blade.

Have you looked at the employees they hire? In the past two years
they have gone _steadily_ downhill in the 'smarts' department...
