Give up my freedom... No. That is a very broad term. I am only talking
about adding 1 more to the thousands of already government mandated
requirements.
This certainly is not the first of or the last of these type proposals. I
just happen to go along with it. You on the other hand choose not to go
along with it. That is OK with me.
Yes. I would voluntarily give up my freedom to choose a TS with or with
out this feature.
That's it in a nut shell. If I have to sacrifice having a choice for what I
would consider a better out come, I have no problem with that. I guess this
is the beauty of living in the US. You have the freedom to voice your
preferences most of the time.

Now, changing the subject a bit and to give you an example of some thing you
may or may not be aware of. My professional career was in the Automotive
industry. I was in upper management and successfully retired at age 40. If
you recall back in the 80's the Freon used in automotive air conditioning
systems was called R-12. There was a big deal about this freon damaging the
environment so a new type refrigerent was Mandated by the government so that
the R-12 would be phased out. That is what the manufacturers wanted you to
know.
Actually the patent for R-12 ran out for the manufacturer and every one was
able to make it and sell it. The manufacturer lobbied and convinced that
govermant that the R-12 was damaging the environment and should be phased
out and replaced with a more friendly refrigerant which they already had a
new patent on. Then the new refrigerant was introduced under a new patent
and that company is all warm and fuzzy again. One problem with this is that
while the new refrigerant is more friendly to the environmant, it is more
dangerous to be around if you are a human being. If you will notice, with
the new refrigerent, mechanics are required if possible to recapture the
freon gas if he has to open up the AC system. This is mostly for his long
term health. If the new Freon gas is so much friendlier, why not let it
excape into the atmosphere like the old freon gas was allowed to do.

Now this is a great example of a manufacturer making up a reason to require
the government to become involved. No one really benefits from this mandate
expept the manufacturer.
