The pallets had lead tamper-evident seals stamped with the seal of the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Telecommunications. The warehouse workers were explicitly forbidden from unbanding the crates or checking inventory barcodes. Whenever someone asks the former warehouse supervisor about those crates, he tells them to drop it if they value their pension. -- Matthias Fischer SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 28,800 bps "We don't sign stars.
