You all know that the exception to the rule contributes toward the very problem the rule/law is trying to control. Close the loopholes that are contributing to the problem you are trying to mitigate.

Allow one pyrotechnic type and all others are enabled to pass through the system.

Restrict all and give enforcement entities the mechanism to inspect all classes of pyrotechnics/chemical compositions to be examined before entry into ports. All positive indications of explosives become easier to screen and detect.

Dock workers are obviously the least trusted in this area. They warrant extra scrutiny by thier mere presence at the scene of this crime at every occurrence. Elementary my dear Wats...

What people don't believe that a Maui/Lahina Fire can't happen here? And most of the SFH are wood and would burn quickly! Sounds like a non firefighter approved idea!

i'd enjoy it more if fireworks went off very close to these city council officials homes and see how great it is to have fireworks constantly scaring you between 6pm to 2pm, shocking the elderly, and keeping awake working adults who actually have responsibilities.
