On a serious note, if everytime some wacko wants to off himself and company in an enclosed space we lose a measure of liberty, then it won't be that long before the feds run out of liberties to take away.
The very same liberties they relieve us off to cover up the inescapable fact (to saner minds at least) that wackos by their very definition will do wacky acts running counter to the herd-accepted (ie. enforced through violence) behavioural norms.
In other words, it doesn't matter what's done, because someone who wants to kill, will find ways to kill.
On a more creative writing note:
Liberty is that married woman, who is continually on the receiving side of domestic violence incidents with her brutal husband Feddy, because from time to time her kids misbehave.
Eventually Feddy will kill Liberty and then there will be no one between Feddy and the kids, and the noose of Discipline (which to a point was deemed necessary in general opinion of the family)
will tighten beyond those limits envisaged even in the worst nightmares and will then scarcely be distinguisable from outright wanton abuse of a known domestic violence initiator.
