What I mean is, what's to stop someone from opening the envelope and gaining the passwords, and then resealing the passwords in a duplicate envelope? (Or have I read too many Tom Clancy novels...)

All the important (router/server/firewall/switch/other) passwords are stored in a fireproof safe in a sealed envelope, in the event of a sysadmin's death/???. When passwords are changed, so is the envelope, in addition to first being verified as being the correct ones (some people use passwords as a job security measure, which is lame).
