fast-n-furious
Fast-n-furious is a dance move recognized when an individual suddenly skates away hastily - when they are questioned about some action that they took earlier - that in retrospect now appears to have been done too fast-n-furious...

He: Do you think justice will be done to those responsible?

thumb-drive control
Thumb-drive control - gets to the source of terrorism and prevents their use of guns as well..
Thumb drives cause terrorism (like guns cause killings). But we can reduce terrorism - by thumb-drive control - with regulations that take away the key device that terrorists use to promote killing. Raising taxes on thumb-drive sales could escalate the impact of this control.
Selling "thumbs-down" ribbons and bumper stickers will rally the supporters (- but you can expect some "sore-thumb" ideologues... to oppose it).
