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.

paperwork marriage

A marriage that is for the sole purpose of one or both of the participants to gain benefits that would not be available outside of marriage to each other--quite often for immigration or health insurance purposes as opposed to marrying for love/lust. Very common in the military as unmarried soldiers are required to live in the barracks.
Soldier 1: Man, I hate living in the barracks.
Soldier 2: If you got a paperwork marriage you wouldn't have to live in the barracks. Just keep your shit separate from hers and you're gold.

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.
