It seems like it�s everywhere. The ability to police it is limited to nonexistent. And for poor slobs like us, if our only recourse is to post about it here, it doesn�t seem to accomplish much.

I suppose the other approach is to stick to beaters with big borders, because the odds are better that they haven�t been doctored. While that�s an attractive option, it doesn�t seem to move the needle with the rest of our world.
