For Your Protection »
As I was preparing lunches today, I was once again struck by the ridiculous way we address issues sometimes. With grapes, in particular. These grapes come in a nice plastic bag, with one of those sliding-lock bags. It's similar to a zip-lock style, but it's got a plastic doohickey on it that you slide, rather than trying to have to match up the two tracks. Works well. The bag is also perforated, presumably so that the grapes can "breathe".
It's also sold with one of those sticky things across the mechanism so that it prevents tampering. Who in their right mind thinks that a bag with holes in it will somehow be protected by a sticky thing over the slider? Why not just stick something through the holes?

I think locks on brief cases make about as much sense. Just steal the brief case and open it later at your leisure.
