That is the story I'm trying to write.

Right.  Which is why I am interested in what people have as a favorite
mechanism, because I know that it is useless to try and write the perfect concept
into code, as there isn't anything of the sort.

I definitely think that, for the most part, the folks are honest who will buy
what I might sell.  It is their employees that I'm most interested in ensuring
don't do something their bosses would dislike.  Just a little protection is
required, not a 24-hour German Shepherd who hasn't been fed for a week.
