   In 1970, the "War Measures Act" was invoked in Canada (in response to   
   terrorist activities); a mathematician responded with "Weights and   
   Measures Act", according to which the Axiom of Choice was abolished, but   
   every set had to be well-ordered. There were other provisions, which I do   
   not recall.
