LOL... *And why not ?


Sure, why not ban ovens or heaters

Smoke detectors = required
Carbon monoxide detectors = required

Neither should be

automatic fire sprinklers = requirement coming soon

Not just the public safety folks, but normal people are
starting to see the pattern of people dying in small home
fires as opposed to large multi-unit dwellings which have
had the requirement to be sprinkler protected for a while
now...

How many people were electrocuted in the bathroom
at home before GFCI's became a requirement ?

Seems to me it would be better just to ban outlets in the bathroom,
even GFI's might still be dangerous wouldn't it?
