It would be good if operators of fast exits were personally known,
and had a history within the community. This still doesn't prevent
deep cover moles or people turned through threats and/or bribes,
and as soon as traffic exits it will be scrutinized, sliced and
diced ten time to Sunday, anyway. But it would be good, yes.
