This is where I have a problem. Mandate this invention on all Table Saws?
This is just an attempt to force his will on all. I have a really big
problem with that!!!

Remember when you could buy a gasoline powered lawnmower that would just
start and run when you pulled the cord ?
and keep running thereafter until you shut it off ?

Now you have to HOLD the safety interlock on the handle or it will shut
off... I find that a major PITA.
Same goes for the little BEAM sensors on garage doors.
