Hit them with a clue-by-four?   I think history has adequately
demonstrated that there will never be a technological solution for human
stupidity.   As a side-effect, we've also learned that too many safety
features often lead to careless mistakes, since people start assuming
the software will protect them from themselves, when the reality is that
it can't.
