Right... but since there's no conventional way of verifying the contents,
you wouldn't know if it's a 3PO or a ST in there, which would make it quite

box to verify the contents, there'd be no way of proving that you didn't
simply put a 3PO in an opened ST box. I suppose you could get a sonagram of
the unopened box or something, but I don't know anybody with access to that
sort of equipment.
