Ask and ye shall receive.  Already being done.  And was done before by 
other companies (who went under).

I just happened to run across this article and sent it to family, 
friends, and business associates with the subject line: "Talk about lazy..."

The company CEO shows up in the comments below the article there, 
talking about new services like hiring supposedly "trusted" employees to 
open things that look time-sensitive but are sensitive.  Not sure I'd do 
that, but he talks about it.

See post/comment #31 from Ron Wiener... and probably others by him later 
in the threads... I stopped reading around that point.
