Although a sausage factory would be bad, at least each tour would be standard, and at least visiting that sausage factory wouldn't compromise your security and your liberty and finally when you get home with your free tour sausages, at least they'd interact with your saucepan the same way all the other sausages do.

Perhaps I've taken this meataphor too far?

Perhaps. But I was amused. :D

I have been on a tour of a sausage factory. It is extremely interesting. For example, all pigs are required to be of a length, weight, and several other dimensions, in order to be approved to join the production line.
