It's a no win situation no matter how you look at it, and you can't stop something that can't be stopped.

If somebody wants to remove their converters (if they live in a legit area) they are going to do it.

As mentioned before there are numerous states that go without a smog test. Along with that there are many pre-1975 vehicles out there. Not to mention performance and aftermarket speed shops and catalogs that supply hollowed out converters, and fake oxygen sensors for a lot of automotive applications. New and old.
