Jesus Christ, people. We're a technological species. That particular genie is out of the bottle. The obvious course of action for able-bodied humans is to learn to deal with the fact that certain humans have devised clever ways to kill you, not to try and make the rest of humanity (including the badguys) naive when it comes to such things -- that approach is utterly futile unless you'd like to live in some kind of "maximum security" environment.
