My line of thinking was something along what Sphinx said (and there were a few things, even I hadn't considered in his list). Including the fact that given the crazy price tag on these things, they probably don't have them sitting around in a warehouse, but rather assemble on demand once an order has been placed, meaning that they'd have to know when an order is placed to even time the op.
Perhaps, as they invest resources into seeing what kind of fool's errand this could be, they'll reconsider.
Thanks Checkmate... I was combing through my various books to find out who might have controlled the company, but couldn't find reference...
