Though obviously house was jesting, this could easily be done legally.
At the kiosk nobody is being IDB'd, so those rules are not yet in place. DL has the right to sell "fly safe". DL has the right to put in place an IDB proceadure that once VDBs are taken, the "fly safes" are last on the list to be IDB'd.
DL, I have a pattent on this. If you want to use it, call me at 1-880-328-7448.
