Incidentally, the mechanism for sharing the pad doesn't have to be 100% secure, as long as you can reliably detect any compromises. If someone opens the briefcase while it's in transit, you just generate new pads and send another briefcase. To compromise the system, an adversary has to compromise the pad in transit without being detected.
