Would be a good idea to forbid SI-units to be used by US-friendly nations:

first it would conveniently pre-tag all others for arresting and questioning

What about replacing the 4 f. oz. rule by 8 tbsp., probably those TSA guys can figure that out better?

Beware, US tbsp are different from metric tbsp!!
