Right, and it's also a search of personal property against your own paying customers.
And maybe your best buy is better than others. Our store every once in a while likes to line people up before they leave and check each customer's bag.
It's insulting, unnecessary and slow. It doesn't solve their theft issues, and only serves to keep customers afraid to steal anything in the store. Most of whom are perfectly honest anyway.

No, actually, in lotro it's a separate pamphlet that contain the keys. They're sitting inside the box. There's no way to miss it. There is no cd key, no cd is required to play. All he needs is the key pamphlet to play the game, as you could download the client online if you wanted.
Hurray for teh logd!
