I agree that that is a hypothetical danger.  There are lots of hypothetical dangers.  You’re proposing that we all collectively foot a cost to prevent a hypothetical danger.  Some hypothetical dangers are so potentially calamitous or so likely to be realized that expenditure of resources, time, or money to prevent them is well-warranted.

You have not demonstrated that this is imminent, likely, or calamitous.

If you wish to take a try at doing so, I’m sure we’d all be willing to consider any argument you might put forward.

But you have not yet put forward any such argument.  “Because someone could” is not an argument.
