Naw, it just means it's time to get out of FL.To me, "automatic lockers" initially conjures up an image of a not-entirely-reliable method of directing torque to all four wheels, rather than a gracious packet-switching-for-atoms scheme.[0]
It's simply a question of context and exposure.Similarly, if you find yourself thinking "how does this novelty keep crazies from blowing stuff up" well before thinking "how does this novelty make my life a little better", I'd suggest moving someplace where the events of 2001 are more memory than national myth.[1]
