In all seriousness...

How do you prevent it from happening, WITHOUT infringing, and this isn't meant as sarcastic as it is going to sound, on our precious rights to privacy

I am ashamed to admit I have no idea where the government is with the implementation of CAPPS II, which deals with airline safety but basically is a major assault on our right to privacy. Does a similar plan need to be enacted for hotels? With all the hotel chains, and individual hotels out there, i'd be a huge project to pull off.

Office space? What's to prevent someone from having a package delivered to a place, I know the mailroom of the client I am at this week, does not to any kind of security screeing, Does FEDEX? UPS? This building is 1 block from the Sears Tower, some serious damage could happen.

20 buildings is not outside the realm of possibility, and sadly, I don't see any way of preventing it.
