I love that Canuckistan's approach isn't to ask how can keyless entry be more secure. Instead it's to try and ban a tool anyone can build. Might as well ban clay since it could be used for key impressions. One of many L's coming from Castro's bastard son.
I know some people think there shouldn't be any laws, but for everyone else, I have a suggestion:
support laws that are targeted at the behavor you want to change!
For example, if you don't like people taking things that do not belong to them, pass a law that prohibits this behavior.
Do not attempt to solve this problem by outlawing radios which some people claim could be used to steal cars. People using radios is not the problem you are trying to solve here.
Heck, I'd go as far to say unlocking cars that do not belong to you is not the problem. If nothing was stolen, and no damage was done, then why should it be a crime?
This applies to so many other things: encryption, knives, guns, 3D-printers, KYC laws... the list goes on and on. Outlaw kidnapping, battery, assault, murder, theft and so forth. Outlawing the tools people use to achieve these ends is always going to be ineffective at accomplishing the goal.
