Classic response, don't hold the billion dollar corpos who actually design and manufacture the cars responsible. Ban the little device that exposes the flaws in their designs.

Yeah, let's entirely outlaw pentesting while we're at it. What could possibly go wrong? 🙈

Lets outlaw devices that could be used for pentesting while we're at it. PCs, laptops, phones, etc.

Don't forget paperclips, string, and aerosol cans. Hell, we should probably just ban wire altogether.

Lock picks are still legal in Canada
