If you are worried about somebody who has become addicted to CW, this key might be of help.

First buy an ordinary plastic mousetrap.

 

 

Cheese as a bait works fine for mice, but for CW operators another kind of bait is needed: a telegraphy key.

 

 

See picture how to construct the key.

 

 

 

Looks tempting already.

 

 

Morsetrap loaded and ready to snap an unsuspicious CW operator. A very light touch on the key is safe, but the trap will spring if pressed more heavily.
