What I don't understand is why companies don't just send their tapes registered mail through the post office. The audit trail the post office keeps on that kind of mail is very thorough and plus when registered mail is received at each post it is locked in a secure cage until it will be shipped out and then it will be taken to the mail room and locked in a special sack strictly for that kind of mail. Heck I have seen gold shipped that way from one bank to another (I have worked at a major post office as temp). Sure people can say well the bag could get lost but the chances are very very slim and even then as soon as the truck reaches the dock to unload the post office will be expecting a registered mail bag so if it is lost they will know immediately. I am sure it is probably cheaper too than having to by special software and hardware to encrypt their data. Just my 0.02 cents
