Fed Ex drivers to have armed guards!

Not surprised. Last time I was at the Apple store (day after iPad 3G released) there was a police officer right in the center of the room. He kept staring at me I think.

It's a good feeling knowing your getting one! I have mine reserved at the apple store, but im still going early for the whole crazy experience!
Yeah a lot of you are blowing this way out of proportion there will be no armed guards riding with the freaking Fed Ex drivers get serious. People are not going to stake outside of the Apple distribution center and learn the routes and when and where the trucks will be. Not to mention if someone did steal a whole truckload of iphone 4's they would not be hard to catch. People will talk, and if you see someone selling a bunch of iPhone 4's on ebay or other site they would be investigated and asked to provide proof of purchase. A big LOL to all the gullible people that believe Fed Ex will be hiring "ARMED" guards to ride along with them

Yea you think it would be easy to find a stolen trailer? HMMM it happens all the time. It's easy to make a PO # and say you paid for it and sell soo many iphones. Most of the stolen trailers end up in mexico and come back cross the border clean.
Sure, how much would you like to wager? Say 1 truckload of iPhones?
Hmmmm...perhaps because it has happened before?
True, but it doesn't have to be that many to make it a big target.

You're gullible to think they would never get robbed and that all thieves are caught.
Makes sense
In this economy crazy things are happening all over and in nice areas, such as mine. I have heard a lot of bad stories lately of bad people coming to our area, it crazy. So if it was my company I would gaurd my trucks, even though they have insurance but I'm sure apple is supplying the gaurds.
At my local Apple store in Walnut Creek, Ca there was only 2 Apple employees watching the palets when the store was getting the new Macbook Pros in. If I was a bad person I could have easily snagged one or two without them even noticing. It's a great area, but you never know who's around to just pull up and snag about 50 laptops worth way more, and if I worked there and some guys pulled a gun it's there's. I was in shock there was no real security, when I saw all those boxes out there. Anyway I believe it, and Apple wants to make sure their products make it to our hands and mainly are credit cards. So pay a few bucks just to be sure. I would bet it's simple security, not like the movies, just a Gaurd to call things in if something happens. Again these are crazy times and sad. For example I rarely post anything on facebook anymore about my stuff due to stories about iPads being stolen, and I personally know everyone on my list. Good areas or bad, crazy things happen.
