Agreed, but if they are going to mandate a roller stop safety feature, I want something else besides the bottom bar. The chuck n' ducks were exempt anyway. The basic idea behind tagging would be to immediately stop the rollers as soon as the tag was detected within the hopper area. This would be well before the feed rollers. A perfect solution, there isn't one, but for new machines it's a better option IMVHO.
