> Propane gas tanks became registered products

Ha. Someone does a thing and the state moves in to regulate. Same as it ever was, apparently.

Item registration… not used to prevent crime, just to make it easier to document after it happens.

Wouldn't "registration" as used in the article mean the purchase details were sent to the authorities, so they could investigate/stop a potential escape attempt?

Registration always precedes confiscation.

Even if the devices were registered, you might be up and away before they figure it out. But if another family flew away, that registration list would be handy door to door.
