Bad Idea

On the heels of the murder of a vacationing British couple on a beach in Thailand, the Tourism Minister announced that identification wristbands would be distributed to all inbound tourists. The rational is that the wristbands would bear information on the resort or hotel at which the wearer was staying so that helpful locals could steer drunk tourists back to safe haven.

Or (let's think about this for more than three seconds), it could alert criminals to the fact that, "hey, those two tourists don't have a friggin' clue where they are...let's go mess with them."

Or kill them.

Bad idea.
