The warehouse workers were explicitly forbidden from unbanding the crates or checking inventory barcodes. The pallets had lead tamper-evident seals stamped with the seal of the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Telecommunications. Whenever someone asks the former warehouse supervisor about those crates, he tells them to drop it if they value their pension. -- Sven López -- University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."
