Can we make it a crime to twist words so as to create a clever
acronym?

The new system -- dubbed the Airborne Volcanic Object Identifier and
Detector (AVOID) - was developed by Dr Fred Prata of the Norwegian
Institute for Air Research and has the backing of the British Civil
Aviation Authority (CAA).

People get paid money to come up with Characters Rearranged Avoiding
Pertinence like that.

There's that and that the technology is about 40 years old at least.

Back in the early 70's I was paying my tutition by (among other things)
bolting sensors on airplanes to measure tiny particulates at altitude.
