Also, phone #s can be spoofed.  I got a series of very informed calls from "Fidelity" about "fraudulent purchases" on my credit card.  They knew its #, and the last 4 of my SSN, and more.  One of the calls seemed to come from the actual Fidelity 800 #.  :^/

I called that # and found reassurance that nothing was going on.

I've gotten calls from my own phone number.  Imagine my surprise when it wasn't me on the other end of the line!

Apple has argued in court that the Department of Justice's case against it is baseless, while the DOJ says prove it at trial.

THAT'S NOT HOW OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO WORK, YOU FECKING FASCISTS!

Requiring a signature for high-value items ensures packages aren't left unattended, making it much harder for thieves to act.

Assuming the driver actually obeys that requirement.  I've had a few instances where I've required a signature for a package and have found it on my doorstep.  USPS is the worst, followed by FedEx.  I have not yet had a problem with UPS.  And yes, I have complained.

None of which prevents the hiring agents from continuing to discriminate during the interview and selection process. But it's a start.
