Maybe I'm being naive but it seems like a larger problem is being ignored here that I feel I should call attention to.
This is going to piss people off and some of those people are going to be real, nothing-to-lose extremists. Actions like these though seemingly harmless in the short-term are going to radicalize the exact person/type of people that you do not want to radicalize.
Because a lot of high-ranking SV folks (and patrickc) are on here, please, for the sake of stability in the country, do not continue down this path.
This may seem innocuous now and purely a matter of principle, but this is a match to gasoline (in a multitude of ways).
