That's bad but at least they checked. Apple recently swapped out a phone for me at the store. The genius called Sprint and they activated the new phone on my Dad's line without asking me for ID or my account code.

Imagine if this were to happen to a journalist or politician. The stakes are quite high.

Honestly, I think one of the best things to happen for the rest of us is for a prominent Senator to have this happen to them. Then hopefully we'd get some legislation holding these companies responsible when they do that.
