Camel's nose
The camel's nose is a metaphor for a situation where the permitting of a small, seemingly innocuous act will open the door for larger, clearly undesirable actions. U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater used the metaphor in expressing his opposition to the National Defense Education Act in 1958:
