Chainsaws are fine provided you use them correctly (although given the
way things appear to be going in parts of your country, I would not be
surprised to see them outlawed in parts of your country unless you pass
an exam and pay for a licence to operate one. :-) :-))

On a more serious note, my example was about the customer asking for
what the vendor would consider to be a dangerous attachment to the chainsaw.
That directly maps to reducing security on a vendor product at customer
request.
