Jason, I know of no vendor that sells a cure for human 
stupidity. We all try our professional best to protect our 
clients from active menace, we can do a few things about 
neglect of detail in procedure on the running routines, but 
there are limits. And when the limit is passed, I haven't 
seen a vendor solution that can rescue the situation.

If you find one, let me know. I have direct need of it 
myself.

Sincerely,
