Herbert, I disagree whole-heartedly :-0.

"SHOULD" - guess you never heard of Murphy, say what.

Crazy komakazi devices bristling sharp objects had best have
fail-safes "built-in", rather than at the behest of some guy
punching a button on a "2nd" xmtr who's battery just ran down,
or who's xmit range has just been exceeded. Better safe than
heading off to engage a barrister ;-).
