Battery Ordering

I ordered a new battery from Dell for my laptop today. Among the littany of questions concerning my intentions for the use of this battery (I intend to use it to power my laptop), was this:

"Q4. Will the product(s) be used in connection with weapons of mass destruction, i.e. nuclear applications, missile technology, or chemical or biological weapons purposes?" Yes/No

Umm.... no.

I think the CA quarter, to be followed by all coins and paper bills, should have a questionnaire on the back to ensure that the money will not be used to support dastardly purposes as well.

Good thing they're asking...I feel a lot safer knowing terrorists would have to lie to get their hands on a laptop battery.

When you travel to the US from Europe you are obliged to answer questions like:

"Have you ever comitted genocide?" Yes No

Now, who would answer "yes"?...
