In summary we would have to more to worry about the effects of black hole tidal forces than the GWs themselves.

...yes Bruce, we wouldn't want any of our cells or molecules in our supremely stationary bodies, suddenly moving a fraction of the diameter of a proton now would we ladies and gentlemen.

We definitely need the world authorities to construct anti-GW devices to compensate for these unforeseen perturbational effects in the space time continuum - the very fabric of space-time - the nylon of our innate existence, the underpinning tarpaulin of existential transformation in the chronologically tempered space membrane
