Amazing. If only there was away to get around the limitations at that level.
I asked why don't you just FedEx it? It's too important, the client said, and we know and trust you.
It was funny, I had it in a laptop bag, and didn't let go of it except to go through the security scanner... the only thing missing was the handcuff connecting it to my wrist. :)
Indeed, getting a trustworthy courier service is so hard that actually sending an in-house employee is worthwhile, even though their hourly rates make this extremely expensive: you are removing tens of abstraction layers, while preserving high degree of control ("Oh, we might have run it over with a truck. And accidentally put it on a plane to New Zealand on hop #3. And they can't seem to find it there.")
