jjsemp has the best idea IMO. Bryce uses this; you must have the CD handy for installation or upgrading, but you don't have to keep it in the drive the whole time (that would be far too much hassle). I also agree with Cyberstretch. Look at it from a retailer's point of view. It's like saying "We must protect ourselves from shoplifters, and security cameras aren't good enough. Therefore we must search every customer as they leave the store. It's the only thing guaranteed to work." Then there will certainly be people like Orio above, who will say, "Sure, I don't mind being searched, it's a minor inconvenience and doesn't cost me anything. If it keeps the store guys happy, that's fine." And others who will say, "Well, they've just lost MY business!"
