Paper Seatbelt

A false sense of security. Used to describe anything that appears to be strong and secure, but in reality is very weak and vunerable.

The built-in firewall settings in Windows XP is like a paper seatbelt. Hackers can find ways to access your computer.

paperless work

Bureaucratic work of the new era that does not involve paper, as opposed to paperwork, popular before invention of the paperless office.

First used in Futurama in the episode about the movie Minority Report.

From Futurama:
“Ain’t you headin’ home, Phil?”

“In a minute. I just wanna finish this paperless work.” – Fry

I've outsourced the data entry to oDesk, because it is such a tedious paperless work.

paper handcuffs

A limitation that should not be an issue. IE: you should be able to bust out of paper handcuffs but they are "technically" handcuffs. Typically a corporate rule or government restriction that is imposed seemingly to create a "maximum" or prevent overuse or abuse.

A daily withdrawal limit from your checking account is such a paper handcuff.

Only 2 per customer? What a paper handcuff!

This legislation imposes paper handcuffs on the public.
