If you're on the other side, you'd call it bullying. But on their side it's having a job to do and getting it done. Its not a matter of a job to do, imposing something like this is not the proper role of government. As for lonely tin hats, this doesn't vaguely resemble that, its a long moral tradition, that while now might be a small minority, is still held by many people. Tin hats are dismissed as crazy (in the sense of insane often a specific diagnosable condition, not just unreasonable). And even for the tin hat brigade, if they are not harming themselves or others, they generally should be left alone, not forced under more and more government control. If someone goes around saying wearing a tinfoil hat because he thinks the government is trying to control his brain with beams from satellites, it would still be wrong for me to grab him and take his hat away.
